Non-chromophoric components — counter-ions, salts, some excipients — contribute mass to the vial and nothing at all to the chromatogram.
Target dose, effective dose, and the distance between them

The supplier has not disputed the finding. It has not explained the gap either.
Residual stomach content on endoscopy: the studies
This is the single interaction with ordinary medical care that patients most need to disclose, and it is the one most often not asked about.
Why a result on one vial says less than the trade needs it to
Every third-party report in this market describes a sample somebody chose to send. That choice is outside the laboratory’s control and outside its records.

Four ways a peptide comes apart
The sequence predicts the failure mode. A methionine predicts oxidation; an asparagine followed by a glycine predicts deamidation; a cysteine predicts disulphide scrambling.
