Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the tissue-repair and immunomodulatory 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 64,192, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.91. 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 0.65 % impurity against a 98.89 % 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 3106.5493 Da, computed from C129H215N33O55. 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 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.

ppm_error
Identity confirmed and purity at 98.89 %. The two answer different questions — what it is, and how much else is in it — and a record carrying both is the version worth citing.
isotope_cluster
Nothing here rules out a positional isomer with the same formula. Mass cannot; only chromatography can, and the gradient length on this record is the relevant fact for that.
ms_confirm
An orthogonal identity method on the same lot would make this the strongest class of record the index holds. Mass plus retention is already better than most.
chain_custody
A retail vial at 98.89 % is worth more evidentially than a selected vial at a higher figure. That is the whole argument for recording provenance at all.
