Institutional information

Understanding analytical results

Read analytical methods as complementary evidence about a material.

What to review

Chromatography, mass spectrometry and quantitative assays address different attributes. A purity percentage does not establish content, sterility, endotoxin level or suitability for human use.

Prepare your inquiry
