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 | Tirzepatide — main peak | 16.78 | 4,775,255 | 98.25 | — |
| 2 | trifluoroacetyl adduct (+96 Da) | 17.55 | 35,966 | 0.74 | +95.982 |
| 3 | [D-Aib13]-diastereomer | 16.62 | 32,078 | 0.66 | 0.000 |
| 4 | tirzepatide dimer | 20.10 | 8,263 | 0.17 | +4810.410 |
| 5 | des-Aib2 analogue | 16.49 | 5,346 | 0.11 | -85.053 |
| 6 | Met(O) sulfoxide (+16 Da) | 16.16 | 1,944 | 0.04 | +15.995 |
| 7 | des-Gly deletion (−57 Da) | 16.27 | 1,458 | 0.03 | -57.021 |
| 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.
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 | 4.08 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 7.15 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.53 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 88.24 |
| Total | 100.00 CLOSES | |
Supplier certificate, as declared
The supplier's own figures for this lot, beside the independent measurement. Divergence is assessed against the batch median, not against this single report — see rule AX-R05.
| Figure | Supplier COA | This report | Index note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity (% area) | 98.35 | 98.25 | divergence +0.82 pp vs batch median |
| Total impurities (% area) | 1.65 | 1.75 | |
| Largest single impurity (% area) | not stated | 0.74 | |
| Water (%) | 2.7 | 4.08 | |
| Counter-ion (%) | not stated | 7.15 | |
| Peptide content (%w/w) | not stated | 88.24 | |
| Endotoxin (EU/mg) | not stated | not determined | |
| Method stated on certificate | NO | — | no method section — the result cannot be reconciled against any other |
Provenance and caveats
Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.
- Sample provenance
- Supplier-supplied
- Evidentiary weight
- Weaker evidence. Read with the caveat below.
- Chain of custody
- Supplier despatch → laboratory direct (courier, cold pack, 10 d) → assay. Submitter did not handle the vial.

- Laboratory
- Medutest, Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Method basis
- 25 min gradient · unit-resolution MS
- Verification status
