This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

o.vukovic, post #13: post #12 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. When method identifiers are missing: "reversed-phase HPLC" is less specific than "reversed-phase HPLC at 214 nm on a C18 column with a 10 to 40% acetonitrile gradient over 20 minutes". The second lets someone reproduce the analysis. The first does not. Go to post

Amino acid analysis gives content: it hydrolyses the peptide and quantifies the residues. It measures the peptide content independent of chromatographic purity. Very few supplier certificates report it.

l.krastev, post #21: When a document puts the specification in the result column, it has told you the release criterion, not the measurement. Those are different claims and the second is weaker. Go to post

Two things before anyone answers the substance.

First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.
