What does 99.1% purity on a wide-pore C18 column actually tell me about a mazdutide vial?

The specifics, since they change the answer: 99.1% · a wide-pore C18 column · mazdutide.

I have the document in front of me and I can read the numbers. What I cannot do is interpret them.

I am reasonably comfortable with statistics and completely uncomfortable with chromatography, or vice versa.

What does this actually establish, and what does it not?
