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 | 9.86 | 4,824,344 | 99.26 | — |
| 2 | des-AEEA semaglutide (−145 Da) | 9.45 | 14,581 | 0.30 | -145.074 |
| 3 | [D-Aib8]-diastereomer | 9.74 | 11,179 | 0.23 | 0.000 |
| 4 | C18 diacid mono-ester | 10.54 | 6,804 | 0.14 | +14.016 |
| 5 | deamidated (Asn→Asp, +1 Da) | 9.60 | 1,944 | 0.04 | +0.984 |
| 6 | tBu-protected residual (+56 Da) | 10.88 | 1,458 | 0.03 | +56.063 |
| 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 | 5.31 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 8.71 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.88 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 85.10 |
| 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) | 98.24 | 99.26 | divergence +0.20 pp vs batch median |
| Total impurities (% area) | 1.76 | 0.74 | |
| Largest single impurity (% area) | not stated | 0.30 | |
| Water (%) | 3.7 | 5.31 | |
| Counter-ion (%) | not stated | 8.71 | |
| Peptide content (%w/w) | not stated | 85.10 | |
| 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, 6 d) → assay. Submitter did not handle the vial.
