HPLC and Mass Spectrometry for Peptides
HPLC and mass spectrometry answer different analytical questions. A peak is not automatically an identity. 21+. Research only.
A chromatogram and a mass are not the same result
HPLC, as used on many of these reports, supports a purity figure from detector response under that method. Mass spectrometry supports an identity assignment when the laboratory uses it that way. One instrument's output does not automatically include the other's conclusion.
ICH and FDA method documents describe how a procedure is validated. They do not interpret a specific Blue Collar task for you.
Stay inside the test name
SS-31 task 172219 is titled an elamipretide (SS-31) analysis. It prints 13.72% and purity 99.634%. Do not describe that 13.72% as a mass spectrum mass in milligrams.
If you did not run the method, cite the laboratory and the task. Do not redraw their chromatogram from memory.
