Net Peptide Content

Meaning

Net Peptide Content is a precise analytical measurement that quantifies the actual mass of the pure, intact peptide molecule within a given sample, excluding all counter-ions, residual solvents, water, and other non-peptide components. This value, expressed as a percentage or mass unit, is the true measure of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) available for biological effect. Clinically, this metric is crucial for accurate dosing and ensuring the consistent potency of therapeutic peptide formulations across batches.
