three years of HPLC threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
three years of HPLC threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. UV response is not uniform across species. At 214nm you are looking at the peptide bond, which is why it is the working wavelength for this class; at 280nm you only see…
Mass spectrometry answers identity. UV purity answers relative quantity under the run conditions. A document with one and not the other is answering half the question, and the half it answers should be stated.
ghost peak, check the plumbing first, it is always the plumbing
Yes — system suitability first. Without it the number is an assertion about the instrument, not the sample.
Yes — system suitability first.
Disagreeing with this bit: that spread is ordinary inter-lab variance, not a disagreement about the material.
Mass spectrometry answers identity.
Adding one practical thing — run the blank. It answers this before anyone has to argue about it.
Same view — reporting the gradient is what makes a result checkable rather than merely stated.

andres_restrepo is right — the integration choice is a decision and it should be stated alongside the result.
Push back: a longer run is not automatically better resolution. You are trading peak width for time and the ratio is what matters.
How old is the column and roughly how many injections has it seen?
Mass spectrometry answers identity.
This is the whole methodological point of the board in one line.
