Read the method header
Instrument, detection conditions, sample preparation and integration rules affect what the chromatogram can support. A percentage without method context is incomplete.
Read observed mass in context
Mass-spectrometry information can support identity, but adducts, charge state and stated interpretation belong to the reported method and sample.
Check the applicability gate
Confirm that the report identifies the selected material and lot, then compare the stated result with the agreed criterion and review limitations.
- Identity and lot match
- Method relevance
- Result and units
