TheCompound Journal

Reporting on incretins, compounding & the peptide supply chain

A monthly journal of record.
30 issues · 32 contributors
Not medical advice. We sell nothing.

The reference desk

Four working tools, maintained by the Journal rather than borrowed: a reconstitution and syringe-unit calculator, a trial-data explorer, a storage and stability reference, and an annotated walk-through of a certificate of analysis. All four run in the page with no account and no tracking.

Working tool

Reconstitution and syringe-unit calculator

The arithmetic that goes wrong most often, done in the page. Enter the vial mass, the diluent volume and the dose you intend; read the concentration, the volume, the mark on an insulin syringe and the number of doses in the vial.

Maintained by Héctor Valmorida

Working tool

Trial data explorer

Every major incretin trial the Journal cites, with the population, the comparator, the duration, the primary endpoint, the estimand and the source. Filter by programme, sort by any column, and read the estimand before you quote the number.

Maintained by Harriet Oduya

Working reference

Storage and stability reference

What is known about how these molecules degrade, how long a lyophilised vial and a reconstituted solution actually last, what an excursion does, and which of the numbers circulating in this trade have a published basis.

Working reference

How to read a certificate of analysis

An annotated walk-through of a typical research-peptide certificate, line by line, with the twelve things worth checking and the six things that are systematically absent. Click any highlighted line to jump to the note on it.
