Post #5 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Attributing a new peak is one of those subjects where the general answer and the answer for a specific case diverge, and the thread will go in circles until someone says which one is being asked for.

j.vandermolen, post #7: Two things can be true about Attributing a new peak at once: the mechanism is plausible and the evidence for the size of the effect is thin. Most of the argument here is people defending the first against attacks on the second. Go to post

Narrowing post #9, because the general version has more than one answer.

On Attributing a new peak: the maintained page in the documentation commons covers the general case with citations and a review date, which is more reliable than any reply here including this one.

Reading back through the Attributing a new peak threads from last year, the same three questions come up every time and only one of them has ever been answered properly. That seems like a documentation gap rather than a knowledge gap.

Storage-related degradation and synthesis-related impurity look different on a chromatogram. A growing oxidation peak over time is not a manufacturing finding.

Worth separating Attributing a new peak as a question about the compound from Attributing a new peak as a question about the documentation. They get answered by different people and only one of them is answerable here.

Moved from Mass spectrometry by dr_okonkwo. Category placement is not obvious from outside and getting it wrong is expected. This topic will get better answers here. The move is recorded in the public log citing R7.
