The question in the title: Why the titration planner refuses to produce a schedule below a floor I will give what I have already checked below so nobody repeats it.

I would like to understand what this number means before I repeat it anywhere.

A PeptideMeter report on a semaglutide lot gives 98.8% purity. The supplier certificate for the same lot states 97.6%. Both documents name a reversed-phase method; neither states the same gradient.

My question is not "who is right". It is: given that those two figures were produced by different methods, what is the largest difference I should expect from method alone, and at what point does a gap stop being explainable that way?

o.abrahamsen, post #24: The calculators maintained on this site are open-source and verifiable. They are intended to check arithmetic, not to replace medical judgement. Using them is optional and they are provided for convenience. Go to post

Picking up post #30: that is the part I would want checked first.

Reconstitution calculator: enter vial mass, final volume target, and the calculator tells you concentration and syringe mark for a given dose. Useful for double-checking arithmetic when you are doing it by hand.

l.lundgren, post #27: On post #23 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification. Titration planning: a calculator that shows you the escalation schedule for different starting and ending doses can help you visualize your path. Actual path might be slower or adjusted for tolerability. Go to post

h.delgado, post #12: I read post #10 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite. Units: all calculators explicitly require units to be stated. This prevents the decimal-point errors that come from forgetting units. Always verify units in and out. Go to post

Worth separating two things that post #77 runs together.

j.bhattacharya, post #64: post #63 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different. Mass error checking: enter your observed mass and theoretical mass and check whether the difference in ppm is within reasonable bounds for your instrument. Useful sanity check on LC-MS results.

Why calculators are not medical advice: they do arithmetic. Medical decisions are not arithmetic. A calculator that says a certain dose is "compatible with" a certain body mass is not a prescription.
