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 45,441, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.09. 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 2.03 % impurity against a 96.69 % 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 4111.0524 Da, computed from C187H291N45O59. 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.

Provenance and caveats

Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.

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.

area_percent
Area percent with assumed unit response factors gets less reliable as impurity content rises. At 3.31 % total impurities the response-factor assumption is worth about a tenth of a point, which is small next to the gap but not nothing.
aspartimide
A pair of satellites either side of the main peak at roughly equal levels is the aspartimide signature. Worth checking the named-impurity table before attributing 3.31 % to coupling efficiency.
lambda_280
Aromatic-selective detection at 280 nm would identify whether des-AEEA semaglutide (−145 Da) carries the chromophore. That distinguishes a truncation from a modification in about ten minutes of instrument time.
macrolactam
For any sequence closed head-to-side-chain, the uncyclised precursor differs by 18 Da and is trivially separable by mass. The envelope on this record shows nothing at that offset.
