Results

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

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 55,244, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.96. 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 0.25 % impurity against a 99.61 % 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	SS-31 (Elamipretide) — main peak	9.01	4,841,355	99.61	—
2	C-terminal free acid (+1 Da)	9.21	12,151	0.25	+0.984
3	[D-Arg1]-epimer	8.83	2,916	0.06	0.000
4	des-Dmt (−193 Da)	8.29	2,430	0.05	-193.110
5	acetyl adduct (+42 Da)	9.55	1,458	0.03	+42.011
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 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)	99.88	99.61	divergence +0.27 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	0.12	0.39
Largest single impurity (% area)	not stated	0.25
Water (%)	not stated	5.30
Counter-ion (%)	not stated	7.66
Peptide content (%w/w)	not stated	not determined
Endotoxin (EU/mg)	1.82	1.57
Method stated on certificate	NO	—	no method section — the result cannot be reconciled against any other

Section 5

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: Laboratory-retained
Evidentiary weight: Provenance documented, selection uncontrolled.
Chain of custody: Laboratory retained sample (−20 °C, 29 d since original receipt) → re-assay.
Assay date: 06 Apr 2026
Submitted to the index: 25 Apr 2026
Laboratory: Janoshik Analytical, Ostrava, Czechia
Method basis: 30 min gradient · high-resolution MS
Verification status: PURITY ONLY

What this report does not establish

That the compound is the compound named. No identity confirmation was ordered on this submission. A purity figure describes chromatographic homogeneity of whatever eluted; it does not name it.
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 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.

sig_figs25 Apr 2026

Two decimal places on 99.61 % implies repeatability better than 0.01 pp, which no laboratory here claims. The number is sound; the printed precision is more than the method carries.

Index data team

Two decimal places are retained because the source reports carry them and truncating would discard information where a laboratory genuinely reports it. The uncertainty budget on /methods/uncertainty-budget/ is the right thing to read alongside any purity figure on this site.

tbu_residual25 Apr 2026

Residual side-chain protection at +56 Da is the classic silent passenger on a high-purity trace. Nothing at that offset above threshold on this record.
