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 | Retatrutide — main peak | 20.75 | 4,758,243 | 97.90 | — |
| 2 | des-Aib20 analogue | 20.31 | 57,838 | 1.19 | -85.053 |
| 3 | [D-Aib2]-diastereomer | 20.53 | 29,648 | 0.61 | 0.000 |
| 4 | C18 diacid regioisomer | 21.33 | 7,776 | 0.16 | 0.000 |
| 5 | truncated (5-39) | 18.83 | 3,888 | 0.08 | -428.201 |
| 6 | incomplete Fmoc removal (+222 Da) | 23.16 | 1,944 | 0.04 | +222.068 |
| 7 | aspartimide (−18 Da) | 21.46 | 972 | 0.02 | -18.011 |
| 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 4728.4871 Da, computed from C221H342N46O68. 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 | 3.29 |
| Counter-ion (TFA) | ion chromatography | 7.97 |
| Residual solvent + inorganic residue | estimated | 0.97 |
| Total peptide content | by difference | 87.77 |
| Total | 100.00 CLOSES | |
