Where water enters a material balance

Water can contribute to material mass without appearing as the peptide signal used in a chromatographic purity calculation. A water-content result therefore answers a different question from a peak-area percentage.

For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

If a report supplies a material-balance calculation, inspect the components and basis it uses. Do not construct a complete balance from fields that were not measured. Retain an unreported water value as a gap.
