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.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 15 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 59,218, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.11. 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 0.60 % impurity against a 98.91 % 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.

Section 4

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.

Where the nearest species is a diastereomer of Tesamorelin, resolution is the only thing that separates them at all — no mass measurement will. The compound fingerprint states what is achievable and on what method.
valley_drop
The reported figure derives from the plate count and the retention gap, via the pharmacopoeial form with the sum of both peak widths in the denominator. It is a calculated quantity, not a measured one, and it inherits the plate count's uncertainty.
endotoxin_limit
Filtration at 0.22 µm removes organisms and not endotoxin. Endotoxin removal needs ultrafiltration or affinity adsorption and neither is routine at this scale.
mk677_standard
On small molecules an assay against a named reference standard is both identity and content in one determination. Its absence leaves both open.
