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, 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 54,808, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.01. 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 0.29 % impurity against a 99.42 % 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.

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.

baseline_noise
Baseline on this trace is flat enough that the reporting threshold is doing real work rather than hiding peaks in noise. That is a precondition for believing 99.42 % and it is not always met.
buyer_sourced
Provenance and purity together are what make a figure like this usable. An independently purchased vial at 99.42 % is worth several supplier-selected ones.
label_claim
A retail vial is also a test of the label. Declared claim 15 mg against what the gravimetry recovers is a question only a purchased vial can answer honestly.
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 JEEP-2412-U8403.
