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.

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 55,239, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.16. 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 0.88 % impurity against a 98.73 % 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 4810.4103 Da, computed from C225H348N48O68. 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.

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.

ppm_error
+42.5 ppm is outside the class limit and outside what a calibrated instrument should produce at this mass. Before anyone reads it as a compound difference: calibration drift on PeptideMeter's side is far more likely. The chromatography is normal and retention at 18.82 min is where Tirzepatide belongs.
Index data team

Recorded as an identity-not-established finding rather than an identity failure, per rule AX-R01. A re-measurement has been requested from the submitter.

ms_confirm
The index records this as identity not established. That is a statement about the evidence, not about the material, and the distinction is the whole reason the status vocabulary has four values instead of two.
charge_envelope
A single excursion of this size against a clean run of prior results on the same instrument is a calibration event with a date on it. The laboratory's own sequence log would place it; the index does not hold one.
