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.

027915582837411165 Semaglutide10.02 min · 99.93 % 9.61 same trace · ×200 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 048121620 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
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 63,836, 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 0.05 % impurity against a 99.93 % 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.

Annotations 5

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.

endotoxin_limit
Endotoxin burden at this level usually tracks water quality at the fill step rather than anything about the synthesis. A high-purity lot with high endotoxin is an entirely coherent result and this is one.
Endotoxin determined but the LAL method is not stated. Kinetic chromogenic and gel-clot give different results and different sensitivity. The value cannot be interpreted without knowing which.
bland_altman
High endotoxin 5.32 EU/mg on high-purity material vs purity suggests water quality at the fill step. If the lot was lyophilised from non-purified water, this is the expected finding.
dedupe_logic
5.32 EU/mg from an older lot. Endotoxins are heat-stable and drift is rare. If this matches fresh-lot median from the same supplier, the number is stable.
tri_agonist
Purity 99.93 % and endotoxin 5.32 EU/mg are unrelated — purity measures synthesis quality, endotoxin measures fill-step water quality. The combination here is coherent and expected together.
