Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the non-peptide adjuncts 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, 30 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 78,615, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.00. 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 0.98 % impurity against a 97.97 % 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 624.2181 Da, computed from C27H36N4O5S · CH4O3S. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, high-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 624.2187 Da. 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 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 2.03 % total impurities the response-factor assumption is worth about a tenth of a point, which is small next to the gap but not nothing.
schema_v2
Both the theoretical and the observed monoisotopic mass are in the published dataset, so the ppm figure can be re-derived rather than trusted. That is the intent of publishing both.
shipping_temp
The custody block above records the shipping conditions this vial actually experienced, which is the condition an ordinary buyer's vial experiences too. That representativeness is the point.
survivor_lots
Even a perfectly blind purchase is a lot somebody chose to test. Provenance fixes one selection problem and leaves the other standing.
