Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the incretin analogues and co-agonists 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, 32 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 75,281, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.98. 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 99.41 % 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 4111.0524 Da, computed from C187H291N45O59. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

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 5

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_template
The certificate for SGN-2502-F9009 carries a named related-substances table rather than a totals line. That is what makes 99.41 % checkable against this record instead of merely comparable to it.
retest_date
A retest date on the certificate would tell you what the supplier is actually asserting about stability. Purity at 99.41 % on assay day is a starting condition, not a shelf life.
sodium_adduct
Adduct bookkeeping on this one is tidy. The sodium series is present at the expected intensity ratio and has not been counted as an impurity, which happens more often than it should.
ppm_error
Instrument was evidently in calibration on the day. A run of results at this accuracy across a laboratory's sequence is the background against which an excursion becomes interpretable.
