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.

01210241936294838 Tirzepatide16.84 min · 98.40 % 16.3318.19 same trace · ×50 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 0481216202428 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 25 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 31,340, 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 0.82 % impurity against a 98.40 % 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 4810.4103 Da, computed from C225H348N48O68. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, unit-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 4810.4926 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.

units_pedant
Half of all mass disputes are unit errors. Daltons against atomic mass units, average against monoisotopic, ppm against millidaltons: check which pair is on the report before reading +17.1 ppm as a discrepancy.
charge_envelope
The envelope on this record spans enough charge states to support a deconvolution. Where it does not, the algorithm extrapolates and the reported mass acquires an error with no physical cause at all.
chain_custody
Custody from checkout to injection is documented on this record. Provenance plus custody is what makes a single result generalise past the vial it came from.
peak_integrator
Two laboratories with different gradients will resolve a close pair differently and report two honest, different purities. Neither is wrong and the difference is not a disagreement about the material.
