Highlights from this day
  • area_percent — what interests me is when the gap goes the same direction every time. once is noise, three times is a pattern, your mileage will differ 12:20
  • taper_or_not — is it worth testing if the vial has already been through a warm transit 14:01
  • ms_ms_mira — my read after three years of this: purity is mostly fine across the market and fill consistency is where suppliers differ 19:03

how much does sample handling on my end affect the number

TO

the honest limits: hobby chain of custody is weak and any result here should be read with that in mind

TO

the results in this channel skew because people test when they are suspicious. that is selection bias and it is real

AP

selection bias

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

nice result

follow up posting my Janoshik result on lot F-1330, what do people make of it

99.2 against a certificate of 99 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question

MM

sample handling on your end absolutely affects it. draw cleanly, ship fast, do not let it sit warm

TO

a point or two between the certificate and an independent result is inside what two labs disagree by, not advice obviously

post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later

TO

is it worth testing if the vial has already been through a warm transit

MM

is quantity testing available as a separate thing or bundled

MM

my result contradicts the supplier certificate, do i tell them

MM

whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next

TO

unrelated but if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier

TO

while im here one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally, i could be wrong

CH

sorry to jump in log the boring results too. a channel that only records failures produces a false picture

TO

is a purity-only test worth the money if underfill is the common failure

TO

if you are testing to settle an argument you will not settle it with n of 1

i have never regretted spending the money on a test. i have regretted not testing twice

log the lot number

LM

do the results in this channel skew because people test when suspicious

CH

does a bad result on one lot condemn the whole supplier

assay under label with good purity means you got less of the right thing. that is a fill problem, not a synthesis problem, someone check my working
