Reading a chromatogram when no result table is supplied
A chromatogram can show signals and their separation even when no numeric result table is included. Reading a plotted image is different from having the laboratory's stated integration result.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Do not estimate a precise purity value from the visual height of a main peak. Peak height and integrated area are different quantities. If a numeric result is unavailable, preserve the image as evidence and describe the limitation.
Reading checklist
- Identify whether the figure reports area or height
- Look for a laboratory result statement
- Avoid manufacturing a percentage from appearance
Reference: HPLC peak-area purity.
