Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the non-peptide adjuncts 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.

01825364954747298 Enclomiphene citrate13.91 min · 98.63 % 13.39 same trace · ×50 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 0481216202428 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 25 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 61,798, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.24. 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 0.71 % impurity against a 98.63 % 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 597.2130 Da, computed from C26H28ClNO · C6H8O7. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, unit-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 597.2208 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.

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.

mass_defect
Mass-defect reasoning narrows this quickly. Very few plausible modifications of Enclomiphene citrate would produce a shift in the direction and magnitude observed, and the ones that would are all in the named-impurity table.
esi_tof
Ion suppression from a co-eluting counter-ion at 27.53 % citrate can shift an apparent mass in a time-of-flight measurement. Desalting the injection before the mass determination removes the possibility.
fill_homogeneity
One retail vial is one draw from a fill. Two or three from the same lot would separate fill variation from lot quality, and that is the cheapest useful experiment in this whole field.
desiccant_note
The packaging as received is part of the evidence on a retail purchase. Whether a desiccant was in the box is a fact about ordinary shipments, not about sample shipments.
