Identity confirmation
Primary identity by high-resolution mass spectrometry, with orthogonal confirmation against a traceable reference standard. Molecular weight and characteristic fragmentation are recorded.
LC-MS · HRMS
Chromatographic purity
The main component is resolved from impurities and degradants by reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection. Each related substance is reported by area percent.
RP-HPLC · UV
Quantitative assay
Content of the labelled compound determined against a calibrated reference standard, so a label claim can be checked rather than assumed.
HPLC-UV
Water & residual solvents
Residual water by Karl Fischer titration and process solvents by headspace GC — the values that quietly shift mass balance and true peptide content.
Karl Fischer · GC
Elemental impurities
Catalytic residues and heavy metals screened element by element and reported to ppb, against pharmacopeial limits where applicable.
ICP-MS · USP <232/233>
Endotoxin & sterility
Bacterial endotoxin by LAL and recoverable microbial growth by membrane filtration, for material presented in an injectable or reconstituted format.
LAL · USP <71>
