coming back to this is endotoxin ever tested on research material

coming back to this a vial can be 99.4% pure and hold 8.1mg of a 10mg label. both numbers are true and only one of them is the one you care about

not evidence on its own

lot        bought    purity   assay/label
A-2418     2025-03   99.1%    9.6 / 10mg
A-2601     2025-08   98.7%    9.8 / 10mg
B-0114     2026-01   99.3%    9.4 / 10mg
B-0329     2026-04   98.9%    9.9 / 10mg

the three way match is vial, certificate, invoice. if all three agree you have something, ask me again in a month

AP

for the archive no lot number on this certificate, does that make it worthless

AP

update from 23 months ago: started asking every supplier for water content and about half now include it

HH

is water content normally on a certificate or do you have to ask

MO

the related substances table is the interesting part. a row of "not detected" means they did not look hard

mixed fonts and inconsistent kerning in one document is worth a second look

IS

does anyone actually check the residual solvents section
residual solvents matter more than people think for anything that went through a lot of purification steps

IS

should a certificate say which instrument and method they used

an identical chromatogram on two different lots is the single biggest tell there is

sloppy not sinister

the honest summary is that a certificate tells you what the supplier says about a lot they chose to test

MO

i was wrong about this for a year: area percent under-reports nothing, it just answers a different question than assay does
