IGF-1 DES (1-3) impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside IGF-1 DES (1-3), how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

disulfide-scrambled isomer

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.58 min on RG-2
Mass difference
mass-identical — chromatography only
Reported in
28 of 28 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.32 %, max 0.74 %
Resolution requirement
A gradient long enough to separate it. No mass spectrometer will.

des(1-4) over-truncate (−87 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.36 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-87.032 Da
Reported in
28 of 28 records (100 %)
Level when reported
median 0.19 %, max 1.09 %
Resolution requirement
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

full-length IGF-1 (+343 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak

Degradation pathways

Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.

  • disulfide scrambling
  • over-digestion to des(1-4) during production
