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 | 16.93 | 4,828,718 | 99.35 | — |
| 2 | Met(O) sulfoxide (+16 Da) | 16.31 | 22,357 | 0.46 | +15.995 |
| 3 | truncated (3-39) | 15.70 | 5,832 | 0.12 | -222.112 |
| 4 | des-Aib2 analogue | 16.64 | 1,458 | 0.03 | -85.053 |
| 5 | C20 diacid mono-amide | 18.28 | 972 | 0.02 | +0.984 |
| 6 | [D-Aib13]-diastereomer | 16.77 | 972 | 0.02 | 0.000 |
| 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 4810.4103 Da, computed from C225H348N48O68. 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 | 3.96 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 6.87 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.23 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 88.94 |
| 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.

| Purity (% area) | 98.83 | 99.35 | divergence +0.07 pp vs batch median |
| Total impurities (% area) | 1.17 | 0.65 | |
| Largest single impurity (% area) | 0.72 | 0.46 | |
| Water (%) | not stated | 3.96 | |
| Counter-ion (%) | 3.7 | 6.87 | |
| Peptide content (%w/w) | 92.2 | 88.94 | |
| Endotoxin (EU/mg) | not stated | not determined | |
| Method stated on certificate | YES | — | column, gradient and wavelength given |
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, 11 d) → assay. Submitter did not handle the vial.
