Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the short bioregulator peptides class. A specification is a decision the index made; a result is a measurement. See where each threshold came from.

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 61,177, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.26. 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 0.07 % impurity against a 99.89 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

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.

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 390.1387 Da, computed from C14H22N4O9. 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 390.1392 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.

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.

Annotations 4

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.

lot_traceability
Lot AMB-2411-X6617 decodes to a manufacture date consistent with the custody chain above. Traceability plus 99.89 % is a complete story; either alone is half of one.
isotope_cluster
The isotope pattern is consistent with the elemental composition of Epitalon. That is a second, independent check on identity and it agrees with the mass.
esi_tof
The observed monoisotopic mass on this record reconciles with the theoretical value to four decimal places, which is the arithmetic the index re-derives in its own build check rather than accepting from the report.
peak_integrator
Resolution to the nearest named impurity is reported on this record with no verdict attached, which is the correct handling. A threshold on that figure would penalise compounds for their own impurity profiles.
