Section 2

Chromatogram and peak integration

The figure is drawn from the table. It is not an independent illustration — if a number in the table changed, the trace would change with it.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 30 min gradient, 214 nm. Drawn from the peak-integration table below: peak positions are the reported retention times, peak areas are the reported area percentages, peak widths follow the reported plate count of 70,792, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.04. Baseline noise is seeded from the report ID and is illustrative. The lower panel is the same trace at a stated vertical expansion with the slow gradient drift subtracted, because at full scale a 0.27 % impurity against a 99.47 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

#	Peak	RT	Area (µV·s)	% area	Δ mass (Da)
1	AOD-9604 — main peak	11.46	4,834,550	99.47	—
2	Met sulfoxide (+16 Da)	11.02	13,123	0.27	+15.995
3	AOD dimer	13.56	6,318	0.13	+1813.852
4	des-Tyr AOD (−163 Da)	10.62	3,402	0.07	-163.063
5	open-chain (reduced disulfide, +2 Da)	10.85	2,916	0.06	+2.016
Closure check — purity + Σ impurities				100.00	CLOSES

Reporting threshold 0.05 % area. Peaks below it are not reported and are therefore excluded from the total, which overstates purity by their sum — see peak integration.

Section 3

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 1815.8672 Da, computed from C78H123N23O23S2. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, high-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 1815.8690 Da. Sodium (+21.982/z) and potassium (+37.956/z) adducts are shown where the parent charge state exceeds 25 % relative abundance; they are adducts of the same molecule and are not impurities.

Charge	Theoretical m/z	Observed m/z	Δ m/z	Rel. abundance (%)
4+	454.9741	454.9745	0.0004	9.3
3+	606.2963	606.2969	0.0006	61.3
2+	908.9409	908.9418	0.0009	100.0
1+	1816.8745	1816.8763	0.0018	56.0

Section 4

Gravimetric mass balance

Water, counter-ion, residual and total peptide content are exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. They must account for 100 % of the cake mass. The index closes this to within 0.02 pp and the build asserts it.

Supplier certificate, as declared

The supplier's own figures for this lot, beside the independent measurement. Divergence is assessed against the batch median, not against this single report — see rule AX-R05.

Figure	Supplier COA	This report	Index note
Purity (% area)	99.67	99.47	divergence +0.20 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	0.33	0.53
Largest single impurity (% area)	not stated	0.27
Water (%)	2.9	3.59
Counter-ion (%)	not stated	4.21
Peptide content (%w/w)	not stated	not determined
Endotoxin (EU/mg)	not stated	not determined

Provenance and caveats

Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.

Sample provenance: Buyer-sourced
Evidentiary weight: Strongest available evidence in this index.
Chain of custody: Retail purchase → submitter (−20 °C, 9 d) → laboratory (courier, dry ice, 10 d) → assay.
Assay date: 09 Sep 2025

What this report does not establish

How much of the named compound is in the vial. Peptide content was not determined, so recovered mass cannot be calculated and the label claim cannot be checked.
That the material is free of bacterial endotoxin. Endotoxin was not measured. No chromatographic result bears on it.
That the material is sterile. Sterility was not tested.
That any other vial in the same lot has the same composition. One vial was tested. Within-lot vial-to-vial variation in this index has a median of 0.28 pp and a 90th percentile of 0.74 pp.
That any other lot from the same supplier has the same composition. Batch-to-batch variation is larger than within-batch variation for every supplier here.
That the material is suitable for administration to a human or an animal. These are research compounds. No result on this site is a safety assessment and the index takes no position on use.
That the material was manufactured by the supplier that sold it. Contract synthesis is normal in this market and twenty-nine batches in the index fingerprint to a bulk from a different company than the one named on the label.

Annotations 2

Signed technical comments from index contributors. Not a discussion forum — annotations question or contextualise the result, and the data team replies where a reply is warranted.

coa_reader20 Sep 2025

The certificate that arrives with a retail order is the certificate an ordinary buyer gets. Assessing it is assessing the real documentation practice rather than the sample-request one.

label_claim20 Sep 2025

A retail vial is also a test of the label. Declared claim 5 mg against what the gravimetry recovers is a question only a purchased vial can answer honestly.
