Section 1

Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the growth-hormone axis 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, 28 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 78,813, 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 0.68 % impurity against a 98.94 % 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	GHRP-6 — main peak	8.02	4,808,791	98.94	—
2	[D-Trp]-epimer	7.91	33,050	0.68	0.000
3	des-Lys (−128 Da)	7.81	8,263	0.17	-128.095
4	oxidised Trp (+16 Da)	7.70	5,832	0.12	+15.995
5	bis-oxidised Trp (+32 Da)	7.48	4,374	0.09	+31.990
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 3

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 872.4446 Da, computed from C46H56N12O6. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, high-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 872.4466 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.

Charge	Theoretical m/z	Observed m/z	Δ m/z	Rel. abundance (%)
2+	437.2296	437.2306	0.0010	56.2
1+	873.4519	873.4539	0.0020	100.0

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.

Component	Determination	%w/w of cake
Water	Karl Fischer	5.39
Counter-ion (acetate)	ion chromatography	5.58
Residual solvent + inorganic residue	estimated	0.69
Total peptide content	by difference	88.34
Total		100.00 CLOSES

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)	99.0	98.94	divergence +0.17 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	not stated	1.06
Largest single impurity (% area)	not stated	0.68

Counter-ion (%)	not stated	5.58
Peptide content (%w/w)	91.0	88.34
Endotoxin (EU/mg)	0.79	0.72

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: Buyer-sourced
Evidentiary weight: Strongest available evidence in this index.
Chain of custody: Retail purchase → submitter (2–8 °C, 17 d) → laboratory (courier, ambient, 5 d) → assay.
Assay date: 06 Aug 2024
Submitted to the index: 27 Aug 2024
Laboratory: PeptideMeter, Tallinn, Estonia
Method basis: 28 min gradient · high-resolution MS
Verification status: VERIFIED

What this report does not establish

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 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.

des_gly27 Aug 2024

98.94 % on GHRP-6 is below the index specification for the class. The interesting part is the distribution: [D-Trp]-epimer at 0.68 % is doing most of the work, and that species is a synthesis artefact rather than a degradation product. This is a process observation about lot ERP-2408-R9378, not a storage one.

spec_vs_result27 Aug 2024

The index specification is a threshold the index chose. A result below it is a measurement below a decision, not a regulatory status and not a safety statement. What it does establish is that this vial is not what the class specification describes.

sodium_adduct27 Aug 2024

Adduct bookkeeping on this one is tidy. The sodium series is present at the expected intensity ratio and has not been counted as an impurity, which happens more often than it should.

isotope_cluster27 Aug 2024

Identity confirmed and purity at 98.94 %. 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.
