IGF-1 LR3 impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside IGF-1 LR3, how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

disulfide-scrambled isomer

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.62 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
118 of 118 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.36 %, max 2.06 %
How it separates
Chromatography only. A gradient long enough to separate it; no mass spectrometer of any resolution will.

Mass difference
-1385.688 Da
Reported in
118 of 118 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.13 %, max 1.61 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

aggregated dimer

Retention offset from the main peak
+3.20 min on RG-2
Mass difference

Degradation pathways

Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.

  • disulfide scrambling — three disulfides, many wrong ways to pair them
  • aggregation on freeze–thaw
  • deamidation at multiple Asn
