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 | 19.89 | 4,685,825 | 96.41 | — |
| 2 | des-Aib2 analogue | 19.54 | 102,067 | 2.10 | -85.053 |
| 3 | C20 diacid mono-amide | 21.51 | 31,592 | 0.65 | +0.984 |
| 4 | Met(O) sulfoxide (+16 Da) | 19.15 | 17,983 | 0.37 | +15.995 |
| 5 | trifluoroacetyl adduct (+96 Da) | 20.82 | 10,693 | 0.22 | +95.982 |
| 6 | [D-Aib13]-diastereomer | 19.70 | 7,290 | 0.15 | 0.000 |
| 7 | truncated (3-39) | 18.41 | 4,860 | 0.10 | -222.112 |
| 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.

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 | 5.01 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 5.64 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.48 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 88.87 |
| 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) | 97.28 | 96.41 | divergence +0.55 pp vs batch median |
| Total impurities (% area) | 2.72 | 3.59 | |
| Largest single impurity (% area) | 1.01 | 2.10 | |
| Water (%) | 4.3 | 5.01 | |
| Counter-ion (%) | 7.4 | 5.64 | |
| Peptide content (%w/w) | 87.7 | 88.87 | |
| Endotoxin (EU/mg) | not stated | not determined | |
| Method stated on certificate | YES | — | column, gradient and wavelength given |
