gross mass on a jewellery scale plus the water content is enough to catch most underfills
is there a reason a certificate would omit

- tallinn_taper — is there a reason a certificate would omit the water content deliberately, sorry if thats been covered — and the retention time on this one is different from the last lot, problem 23:20
small thing on the impurity table i ask for the batch record rather than the certificate now, because the record is harder to make up
worth noticing
a supplier certificate on its own is a starting point, not evidence. that is the whole reason the verification channel exists, the wavelength matters here
lot specific not batch
i have never seen a research certificate with an endotoxin result on it. not once
update from 3 months ago: started asking every supplier for water content and about half now include it, not detected means the limit
the table not the headline
a jpeg of a certificate is not automatically fake and it is automatically harder to check
evening, ask for water content
net peptide is gross mass minus water minus counterion. that is why 11.4mg of powder can be a correct 10mg vial
anyone got a certificate they would hold up as the example of how to do it, if anyone has a number
