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 | Semaglutide — main peak | 15.68 | 4,800,042 | 98.76 | — |
| 2 | [D-Aib8]-diastereomer | 15.48 | 40,341 | 0.83 | 0.000 |
| 3 | semaglutide dimer | 18.77 | 14,095 | 0.29 | +4111.052 |
| 4 | Met(O) sulfoxide (+16 Da) | 15.11 | 3,888 | 0.08 | +15.995 |
| 5 | des-AEEA semaglutide (−145 Da) | 15.00 | 972 | 0.02 | -145.074 |
| 6 | C18 diacid mono-ester | 16.81 | 486 | 0.01 | +14.016 |
| 7 | deamidated (Asn→Asp, +1 Da) | 15.25 | 486 | 0.01 | +0.984 |
| 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.
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.
| Charge | Theoretical m/z | Observed m/z | Δ m/z | Rel. abundance (%) |

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 | 5.89 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 11.28 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.63 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 82.20 |
| Total | 100.00 CLOSES | |
