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.

031896377956612755 Ipamorelin9.38 min · 98.98 % 9.02 same trace · ×100 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 05101520253035 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 32 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 91,697, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.32. 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 0.62 % impurity against a 98.98 % 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 711.3856 Da, computed from C38H49N9O5. 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.

hilic_hana
Short and polar sequences are poorly served by reverse phase, and a low area-percent figure on one can be a method artefact rather than a material property. HILIC or ion pairing would settle it.
iqr_watcher
The record is published in full, including the impurity table that explains it. A number below specification with a named impurity profile beside it is more useful than a number above specification with nothing beside it.
ms_confirm
+3.0 ppm at this mass is a clean identity confirmation. With retention at 9.38 min, Ipamorelin is established as the species measured. Note what it does not exclude: a mass-identical diastereomer, which no mass measurement of any resolution can.
schema_v2
Both the theoretical and the observed monoisotopic mass are in the published dataset, so the ppm figure can be re-derived rather than trusted. That is the intent of publishing both.
