Does surface adsorption to the vial wall lose measurable peptide?

Asked 16 Apr 2025Modified 15 months agoViewed 4.8k times

I have the same lot stored correctly as a comparator, if a side-by-side test would help.

I have worked this out and I would like someone to find the error, because I suspect there is one.

My working so far, for the record, is below, and I am fairly sure the error is in the unit conversion rather than the algebra.

Is my approach right even if my number is wrong?
