how do you separate batch variance from supplier variance

whats the lot

KF

sorry to jump in whats the underfill rate people are actually seeing

update from 7 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

KF

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

[edited]

right so weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure

certificate said 98.1 and the independent came back 99.2, is that a problem

what interests me is when the gap goes the same direction every time. once is noise, three times is a pattern

LN

i had a result i am fairly sure was a handling error on my side and i logged it as such, your mileage will differ

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

LN

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

VL

my result contradicts the supplier certificate, do i tell them

posting my PeptideMeter result on lot D-0718, what do people make of it
update from 10 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

MO

underfill is more common than impurity. if you only test purity you are testing the less likely failure, take that with a pinch of salt

a supplier disputing a result is rare here and it has never gone well for the supplier

a result without a lot number and a purchase date is an anecdote with a pdf attached, ill dig out the number

log the lot number

SF

i told CPC about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due

SF

the widest spread in my data is about 2.6 percentage points across five lots from one supplier

if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier, happy to be corrected

i test roughly every tenth vial. it is a sampling strategy, not paranoia
one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally
