I think a lot of recombinant peptides are designed with tags to aid in purification. The tags are usually immunogenic thoughspecifically for peptides though so you can use 1 standard for many of them? except for hgh u use separate one iirc.
and for in-house standard, did you verify vs standard "standard" and is that verification done for correction over time or is it assumed to be fine? esp with degradation testing, if using a standard that also degrades (example hgh) would this not give accurate results as both are technically degrading? my experience is more with isotopes way back in the day so forgive any silly questions.
also a bit confused how you can get purity and quantity with no standard. particularly for peptides..
interesting no customer testing has shown random dosage or compound? other than odd outlier.. esp if 50% are random compounds/doses....talking peptides particularly here. I know histamine type reactions seem to pop up for alot of peptides any common random compounds that are used to "fake" peptides that may cause this? suspect LPS would only be an issue for recombinant/ecoli manufacturing correct?
looking at HPLC results for peptides u will see 97.5% for example and 2.2% will be of some other singular compound and 0.3% of something else...what is the most 'common' singular impurity in hgh or peptides. always sorta assumed was just some random amino left over.
as others have said would be great for harm reduction to know if any signals show up for certain peptides showing up as something Dif. just so people can be extra careful for those specific peptides. ie is semaglutide often popping for some random analog having same/similar agonist activity. or are some of these peptides close enough that can be tuff to know 100% without using longer retention time standards for example.
again, VERY much appreciate your time and input!
very good to know MGF is a tuff one to actually get! of course interested in others! thanks!
yeah surprising to me as well. The MGF I have used from peptidesciences at least definitely improves my recovery/DOMS reduction after a workout.
