How much purity do you need? The right purity depends on your application. Higher purity can improve interpretability,
but it may increase cost and reduce yield—especially for difficult sequences.
Table: Practical purity guidance (typical ranges). Requirements vary by assay sensitivity and peptide properties.
| Application |
Typical purity target |
Why |
| Early screening / exploratory assays |
Crude to ≥70% |
Speed and cost efficiency for iteration |
| ELISA / antibody generation (peptide antigens) |
≥70% to ≥85% |
Improves specificity without unnecessary cost |
| Quantitative assays / binding studies |
≥85% to ≥95% |
Reduces confounding peaks and improves reproducibility |
| Critical reference standards / regulated work |
≥95% (application-dependent) |
Supports documentation and method validation |
If you tell us your application, we’ll recommend a practical specification (purity, analytics, counter-ion) that matches your goals.
