Slight fix: the number was 98.0, not 98.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

template required: vendor / product / batch / service / method / result

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

Gradient goblin mode: changed the solvent composition 4 times, finally got good resolution on a chromatogram peak.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

Detection wavelength? method development and that changes at different wavelengths.

a warm courier van is a bigger problem for a mixed vial than for dry powder

the 98.3% result confirmed the vendor claim, that is the signal

Was that the vendor COA or your own test?

the detector wavelength matters more than people think

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

Strongly agree. Largest single impurity tells a different story than total purity.

A shoulder on the main peak that 11 analysts integrated 8 different ways. Same trace, 98.1 spread.

Detection wavelength? gradient and that changes at different wavelengths.

Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 40. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

The gel pack lasted 12 hours in a courier van, then liquid. Powder itself fine, the cold chain mostly died in transit.

Logger trace from my shipment: 4 hours at 23°C. Powder tested 98.3% against 98.4% claim. Tolerates more than the box implies.
