Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the non-peptide adjuncts 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.

02074414862228296 MK-677 (Ibutamoren mesylate)12.98 min · 98.66 % 13.025.33 same trace · ×50 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 051015202530 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 28 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 54,869, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.00. 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 0.79 % impurity against a 98.66 % 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.

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.

buyer_sourced
Independently purchased, at the submitter's own cost, forwarded without the supplier's involvement. That is the definition and this record meets it.
storage_stated
Stated storage conditions on the certificate against the observed transit conditions in the custody block: on this record they agree, which removes one class of explanation for anything unexpected.
epitalon_bAsp
A beta-aspartyl isomer sits a tenth of a minute away and is mass-identical. That is the archetype of a pair where resolution is a compound property and no rule should adjudicate it.
spec_vs_result
The class specification for counter-ion on this site is the index's own threshold and it is generous. A figure above it is a formulation observation rather than a defect.
