In short.
HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) separates the components of a peptide sample so that purity can be quantified as a percentage of the total integrated peak area.
At a glance.
- Method: reverse-phase HPLC-UV
- Reports purity as % of total peak area
- Industry research benchmark: ≥98% purity
- BuyRetaUK release specification: ≥99%
