31Trifluoroacetic acid is a special case. It is used in both cleavage and purification, is not always covered by a standard residual-solvent method, and in the isolated peptide is present largely as the [[Trifluoroacetate counterion|trifluoroacetate counterion]] rather than as free acid. The counterion is determined by a separate ion-chromatographic or spectroscopic method.{{r|usp1503}}31Trifluoroacetic acid is a special case.

+34Residual solvent contributes mass that is not peptide, so it enters the [[Peptide content|content]] calculation alongside water and counterion. Where content is determined directly by amino acid analysis or by quantitative nitrogen determination this is handled implicitly; where content is inferred by subtraction it must be handled explicitly.{{r|usp1503}}

+36Certificates in research-chemical supply report residual solvents less often than they report purity or water. Its absence is a gap in the document rather than evidence about the material, and the correct inference is that the attribute is uncharacterised.
