- Sterility
- 'No growth detected' or 'Complies with USP <71>'
- Any colony count, 'growth observed', or missing data
- USP <71>. 14-day incubation, aerobic and anaerobic media
- Bacterial/fungal contamination renders peptide unusable and creates injection risk
- Endotoxin Level
- <0.5 EU/mL or 'Complies with USP <85>'
- ≥0.5 EU/mL, 'pending', or absent
- USP <85>. LAL (chromogenic, turbidimetric, gel-clot)
- Endotoxins cause fever and inflammation even after bacteria are killed
- pH Range
- 5.0–7.0 (specific value listed)
- <5.0, >7.0, or unlisted
- USP. Calibrated electrode at 25°C
- Extreme pH denatures peptide structure within minutes of reconstitution
- Benzyl Alcohol Concentration
- 0.9–1.0% w/v
- <0.9%, >1.0%, or missing
- HPLC or GC analysis
- Too low allows microbial growth; too high causes injection site irritation
- Particulate Matter
- 'Complies with USP <788>' or specific counts within limits
- Visible particles, counts exceeding USP limits, or no data
- USP <788>. Light obscuration or microscopic particle count
- Particulates indicate filtration failure or container degradation
