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.

02208441766258834 Semaglutide10.07 min · 99.79 % 9.81 same trace · ×200 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 048121620 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 15 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 41,646, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.12. 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 0.08 % impurity against a 99.79 % 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.

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.

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.

Annotations 3

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.

buyer_sourced
Provenance and purity together are what make a figure like this usable. An independently purchased vial at 99.79 % is worth several supplier-selected ones.
selection_bias
Provenance handles supplier selection. It does not handle submitter selection, which is the larger confounder and the one the index cannot measure.
low_n
Strong provenance does not fix small n. One well-sourced record is still one record, and the batch page says how many others exist for WWB-2502-W1846.
