Highlights from this day
  • gradient_greg — i have never regretted spending the money on a test. i have regretted not testing twice 21:23
  • taper_tess — update on the earlier thing whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next i told KP about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue.… 22:09
  • redefine_ren — the results in this channel skew because people test when they are suspicious. that is selection bias and it is real 22:10
  • salt_bridge — assay under label with good purity means you got less of the right thing. that is a fill problem, not a synthesis problem 23:23

log the boring results too. a channel that only records failures produces a false picture

SB

certificate said 99.4 and the independent came back 96.8, is that a problem

log the boring ones

does anyone log the negative results, the boring ones

MM

one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally

SB

a point or two between the certificate and an independent result is inside what two labs disagree by

MM

quick one a single sample tells you about a single vial. that is genuinely all it tells you

weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure, i could be wrong

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

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

MM

how many lots do you need before you can say anything about a supplier

thats within range

TT

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

anyone had a result they think was a lab error rather than a bad vial

TT

99.2 against a certificate of 99 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question, n of 1 obviously

RR

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

MM

unrelated but my result contradicts the supplier certificate, do i tell them

RR

sorry to jump in if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier

SB

quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for

TT

a result without a lot number and a purchase date is an anecdote with a pdf attached

SB

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

does a bad result on one lot condemn the whole supplier
