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.
| # | Peak | RT | Area (µV·s) | % area | Δ mass (Da) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tirzepatide — main peak | 19.99 | 4,799,070 | 98.74 | — |
| 2 | [D-Aib13]-diastereomer | 19.80 | 39,855 | 0.82 | 0.000 |
| 3 | tirzepatide dimer | 23.97 | 9,721 | 0.20 | +4810.410 |
| 4 | Met(O) sulfoxide (+16 Da) | 19.25 | 4,860 | 0.10 | +15.995 |
| 5 | C20 diacid mono-amide | 21.61 | 2,916 | 0.06 | +0.984 |
| 6 | des-Gly deletion (−57 Da) | 19.38 | 2,430 | 0.05 | -57.021 |
| 7 | des-Aib2 analogue | 19.64 | 1,458 | 0.03 | -85.053 |
| Closure check — purity + Σ impurities | 100.00 | CLOSES | |||
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.
| Component | Determination | %w/w of cake |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Karl Fischer | 5.11 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 7.60 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.33 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 86.96 |
| Total | 100.00 CLOSES | |
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.
| Figure | Supplier COA | This report | Index note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity (% area) | 98.68 | 98.74 | divergence +0.35 pp vs batch median |
| Total impurities (% area) | 1.32 | 1.26 | |
| Largest single impurity (% area) | 0.78 | 0.82 | |
| Water (%) | 3.8 | 5.11 | |
| Counter-ion (%) | not stated | 7.60 | |
| Peptide content (%w/w) | not stated | 86.96 | |
| Endotoxin (EU/mg) | 0.80 | not determined | |
| Method stated on certificate | NO | — | no method section — the result cannot be reconciled against any other |
Provenance and caveats
Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.
- Sample provenance
- Supplier-supplied
- Evidentiary weight
- Weaker evidence. Read with the caveat below.
- Chain of custody
- Supplier despatch → laboratory direct (courier, cold pack, 5 d) → assay. Submitter did not handle the vial.

Annotations 2
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.
