Sample amounts

Required sample amounts:

The following amounts of sample plus an additional amount for sample handling are required.

The amount needed for sample handling depends on the physical properties of the sample. A freeze dried product needs practically no additional amount whereas an oily product will require more than 10mg’s. 

These amounts are necessary in order to obtain the required accuracy of the weighing process (minimum weight in accordance to USP) and the required LOQ’s.

Please enquire if these sample amounts are not available.

for the analysis of AAA:

the error of sample weight is higher and in consequence the error of peptide content. If the peptide content of a solution or in a vial is to determine the amount of peptide can be lower due to the fact that the sample weight is high (in case of a solution) respectively the peptide weight is not needed (for determination of the content of a vial only nominal weight is needed).

for the analysis of enantiomeric purity:

the LOQ for the enantiomers will increase, especially for Cys, Met, Trp and His.

for the analysis of residuals of solvents, moisture and counter ions:

the error of sample weight is higher and in consequence the LOQ will increase. In addition discrimination of low boiling components before analysis is possible.

in the case of OOS

Additional investigations in the case of OOS are not possible with low amount of sample.
