Highlights from this day
  • VialBot — Batch lookup A-2418: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-09-28. 07:51
  • zoya_zeros — if somebody says they ran a mass spec and does not show you a spectrum, that is a claim, not a result 08:36
  • zoya_zeros — a shoulder on a peak is information, and usually bad information update from 18 months ago: switched to asking for the chromatogram rather than the number and it… 08:40

thats the solvent peak

i was wrong about tailing factor. it is usually the injection or the pH, not the column

ST

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

ST

shallow gradients hide related substances behind the main peak. a steeper one separates and looks worse, honestly

coming back to this 214nm sees the amide backbone so it sees everything. 280 only sees aromatics

within inter-lab range

ZZ

if somebody says they ran a mass spec and does not show you a spectrum, that is a claim, not a result

a certificate with a number and no chromatogram is asking you to trust the integration you cannot see

a shoulder on a peak is information, and usually bad information
update from 18 months ago: switched to asking for the chromatogram rather than the number and it changed everything

is a tailing factor of anything specific a problem
