Section 1

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.

Section 2

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.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 28 min gradient, 214 nm. Drawn from the peak-integration table below: peak positions are the reported retention times, peak areas are the reported area percentages, peak widths follow the reported plate count of 76,401, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.99. Baseline noise is seeded from the report ID and is illustrative. The lower panel is the same trace at a stated vertical expansion with the slow gradient drift subtracted, because at full scale a 0.29 % impurity against a 99.32 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

#	Peak	RT	Area (µV·s)	% area	Δ mass (Da)
1	Liraglutide — main peak	15.59	4,827,260	99.32	—
2	liraglutide dimer	18.53	14,095	0.29	+3748.963
3	des-palmitoyl liraglutide (−238 Da)	12.38	11,665	0.24	-238.230
4	deamidated (Asn→Asp, +1 Da)	15.14	3,888	0.08	+0.984
5	des-His1 truncate (−137 Da)	14.64	1,944	0.04	-137.059
6	γ-Glu regioisomer	15.97	1,458	0.03	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.

Section 3

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 3748.9631 Da, computed from C172H265N43O51. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, high-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 3748.9575 Da. Sodium (+21.982/z) and potassium (+37.956/z) adducts are shown where the parent charge state exceeds 25 % relative abundance; they are adducts of the same molecule and are not impurities.

Charge	Theoretical m/z	Observed m/z	Δ m/z	Rel. abundance (%)
6+	625.8345	625.8335	-0.0010	8.9
5+	750.7999	750.7988	-0.0011	54.6
4+	938.2481	938.2467	-0.0014	100.0
3+	1250.6616	1250.6598	-0.0018	57.9
2+	1875.4888	1875.4860	-0.0028	8.6

Section 4

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.

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)	99.23	99.32	divergence -0.09 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	not stated	0.68
Largest single impurity (% area)	not stated	0.29
Water (%)	4.4	5.96
Counter-ion (%)	6.6	6.65
Peptide content (%w/w)	88.4	not determined
Endotoxin (EU/mg)	2.84	5.19
Method stated on certificate	YES	—	column, gradient and wavelength given

Section 5

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, 10 d) → assay. Submitter did not handle the vial.
Assay date: 16 Aug 2026
Submitted to the index: 01 Sep 2026
Laboratory: PeptideMeter, Tallinn, Estonia
Method basis: 28 min gradient · high-resolution MS
Verification status: VERIFIED

What this report does not establish

How much of the named compound is in the vial. Peptide content was not determined, so recovered mass cannot be calculated and the label claim cannot be checked.
That the material is sterile. Sterility was not tested.
That any other vial in the same lot has the same composition. One vial was tested. Within-lot vial-to-vial variation in this index has a median of 0.28 pp and a 90th percentile of 0.74 pp.
That any other lot from the same supplier has the same composition. Batch-to-batch variation is larger than within-batch variation for every supplier here.
That the material is suitable for administration to a human or an animal. These are research compounds. No result on this site is a safety assessment and the index takes no position on use.
That the material was manufactured by the supplier that sold it. Contract synthesis is normal in this market and twenty-nine batches in the index fingerprint to a bulk from a different company than the one named on the label.

Annotations 4

Signed technical comments from index contributors. Not a discussion forum — annotations question or contextualise the result, and the data team replies where a reply is warranted.

lal_assay01 Sep 2026

5.19 EU/mg is above the index screening threshold of 5.0. Two things to keep separate: the index threshold is a screening figure, and a real limit is dose-dependent. The endotoxin dose-limit calculator does that arithmetic. What this record establishes is that the burden is measurable and high relative to the rest of the dataset.

Contributor #G-551701 Sep 2026

Endotoxin determined but the LAL method is not stated. Kinetic chromogenic and gel-clot give different results and different sensitivity. The value cannot be interpreted without knowing which.

endotoxin_limit01 Sep 2026

Endotoxin tested twice on this lot with varying EU/mg spread. Endotoxin variability in retained samples is larger than most labs acknowledge and the single measurement here is not definitive.

vilon_c1801 Sep 2026

5.19 EU/mg from an older lot. Endotoxins are heat-stable and drift is rare. If this matches fresh-lot median from the same supplier, the number is stable.
