genuine question about chromatogram that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
Genuine question, and the title is the question: genuine question about chromatogram that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. Sent the same vial to PeptideMeter and Medutest. 98.8% against a claimed 98.0%. The difference was the gradient, not the material. System suitability — repeat injections, tailing factor, plate…
Ran a blank after a high-concentration injection and found the carryover I had been calling an impurity.
retention time alone is not identity
Right. And a blank between injections settles the carryover argument before it starts.
retention time alone is not identity
rania_okonkwo is right — the integration choice is a decision and it should be stated alongside the result.
Same method at both labs, or two different gradients?
Push back: a longer run is not automatically better resolution. You are trading peak width for time and the ratio is what matters.
