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 48,278, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.45. 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 0.28 % impurity against a 99.39 % 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 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.

aib_coupling
Hindered couplings are where a synthesis loses purity, and the deletion products they leave are the first thing to look for. On this record they are not there in quantity.
peak_integrator
Nothing adverse on this record. Purity 99.39 %, largest single impurity C20 diacid mono-amide at 0.28 %, and a mass balance that closes. It is a clean record and the index has no note to add to it.
dedupe_logic
Two retail purchases of the same lot from different buyers are genuinely independent. Two aliquots of one purchase are not, and the index does not treat them as such.
