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.
| # | Peak | RT | Area (µV·s) | % area | Δ mass (Da) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Liraglutide — main peak | 14.62 | 4,790,808 | 98.57 | — |
| 2 | des-palmitoyl liraglutide (−238 Da) | 11.75 | 25,274 | 0.52 | -238.230 |
| 3 | des-His1 truncate (−137 Da) | 13.77 | 24,788 | 0.51 | -137.059 |
| 4 | γ-Glu regioisomer | 14.96 | 13,609 | 0.28 | 0.000 |

| 6 | palmitoyl bis-adduct (+238 Da) | 17.02 | 1,458 | 0.03 | +238.230 |
| 7 | liraglutide dimer | 17.24 | 486 | 0.01 | +3748.963 |
| 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.
Mass spectrum and identity
Theoretical monoisotopic mass 3748.9631 Da, computed from C172H265N43O51. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

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.
| Component | Determination | %w/w of cake |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Karl Fischer | 5.74 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 6.75 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.99 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 86.52 |
| Total | 100.00 CLOSES | |
