Purity

In one lineThe fraction of the powder that is the intended molecule.

Definition

The proportion of the material that is the intended peptide, usually reported as a percentage from HPLC. It says nothing about how much powder there is, what the impurities are, whether the product is sterile, or whether it contains endotoxin — the things that cause harm from injectables.
