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.

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.

030036006900912012 GHRP-68.21 min · 98.83 % 7.87 same trace · ×50 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 05101520253035 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
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 56,194, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.20. 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 0.80 % impurity against a 98.83 % 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 872.4446 Da, computed from C46H56N12O6. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

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.

wide_iqr
The actionable statistic for a buyer is not the median but the tenth percentile — how bad a bad lot is. This record is a data point for that percentile and it is worth more to the index than another result at the top.
digit_preference
A supplier that reports 98.5 and 99.0 across a catalogue is quantising. A supplier that reports 98.5 on every lot of every compound would be doing something else, and that pattern does not occur in this index.
coa_reader
Read the related-substances table rather than the headline. Where the table is itemised with retention times, the headline is a summary of it and the summary's precision is irrelevant.
ion_pair_ip
Changing the ion-pairing additive changes selectivity on charged sequences more than changing the column does. It is the first thing to try on a stubborn close pair.
