  • deamidation — two labs a point or two apart on the same lot is normal and gets mistaken for one of them being wrong constantly, i have it written down somewhere 06:21

baseline drift on a gradient is normal. baseline drift on an isocratic hold is your column

FT

a warm transit can put a visible degradant peak on a chromatogram. that is what 15 days at ambient does

CS

how much sample does a lab actually need for identity as well as purity

FN

a dimer usually shows up late and at roughly double the mass. the chromatogram alone will not tell you

FN

deamidation is about plus 0.98 Da. it is not a rounding error, it is a degradant

is monoisotopic or average mass the one on most certificates

oxidation is about plus 15.99 Da and is usually methionine or tryptophan
