The lowest purity average among the peptides in our set belongs to the hardest one to make, which is the explanation

Among the peptide items we have counted, this one returns the lowest average purity. That is a real figure and the explanation is structural rather than a verdict on any particular supplier.

The lowest peptide average in our record

Among the peptide items we have counted, this one returns the lowest average purity. That is a real figure and the explanation is structural rather than a verdict on any particular supplier.

A long modified analogue is a harder synthesis

This is not a short peptide. It is a substantially sized, deliberately modified analogue of a natural protein, and both the length and the modifications make clean synthesis and purification harder. More steps means more opportunity for truncated or incorrect sequences.

Which is why identity testing matters more here

For a long sequence, the plausible failure is not contamination with something unrelated but a closely related wrong molecule — a truncation or a misfolded variant. A purity percentage alone does not catch that; confirmation of identity is what does.

Expect a different threshold

Applying a flat purity bar across this index would penalise this compound for being difficult and flatter the short ones for being easy. A sensible reading compares each item against others of its own kind.

What we publish and why

The figures as recorded, including the lower ones, with the explanation beside them. Removing the item or quietly omitting the average would make the table look better and tell the reader less.

The published record for this item

The published set we counted contains 4 report(s) naming IGF-1 LR3, averaging 98.91% purity. Each resolves on the testing laboratory's own portal rather than as a file hosted by the seller.

Harder synthesis, lower typical purity

Longer and more modified molecules require more synthetic steps, and each step is an opportunity for truncated or incorrect products. A lower average here reflects the chemistry rather than carelessness, and comparing it against short simple compounds penalises difficulty.

Identity testing carries more weight here

For a long sequence the plausible failure is a closely related wrong molecule rather than an unrelated contaminant. A purity percentage does not catch that; explicit identity confirmation does, and it is the test worth asking about for this class.
