An itemised related-substances table with retention times says considerably more about the synthesis than a single total. A total tells you how much is not the main peak and nothing about what it is.

The part I am sure of is shorter than the part I have written.

A chromatogram supplied as a small image is legible for peak shape and not for baseline detail. That is enough to sanity-check an integration and not enough to reproduce it.

z.adeyemi, post #17: Coming back to post #14, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. An itemised related-substances table with retention times says considerably more about the synthesis than a single total. A total tells you how much is not the main peak and nothing about what it is. Adding a source would improve this post and I do not… Go to post

Worth separating two things that post #42 runs together.

The distinction between release testing and characterisation is one industrial documents make and retail ones usually do not. It is the difference between "we tested every lot for this" and "we established this once".

The fields that make one usable: lot identifier matching the container, test date, method identification specific enough to reproduce, the result as a number, and the acceptance criterion stated separately from the result.

The uncertainty is in the assumption, not in the calculation.

Where I would look next, rather than where I would stop.

Where I part company with post #89, and it is a narrow parting.

The number is defensible. The precision I gave it is not.

glossary_check, post #54: Endotoxin testing is separate: a certificate of purity says nothing about endotoxin. A chemically pure preparation can carry a clinically significant endotoxin load. If endotoxin matters, it needs to be tested and reported. Go to post
