Highlights from this day
  • endotoxin_ed — i told GL Biochem about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is… 18:12
  • endotoxin_ed — sorry to jump in whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next the honest limits: hobby chain of custody is weak and any result here should be read… 18:32
  • salt_bridge — update from 17 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both 19:51
  • relabel_watch — assay under label with good purity means you got less of the right thing. that is a fill problem, not a synthesis problem 20:21
  • pharmac_pen — one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally, ill dig out the number 20:51

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

i had a result i am fairly sure was a handling error on my side and i logged it as such, take that with a pinch of salt

update on the earlier thing is a purity-only test worth the money if underfill is the common failure

i told GL Biochem about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due
quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for

VB

Purity check: no report on file for lot F-1330. Nothing logged either way.

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

sorry to jump in whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next
the honest limits: hobby chain of custody is weak and any result here should be read with that in mind

which lab

EE

certificate said 99.2 and the independent came back 97.4, is that a problem

do you test every order or sample it
a point or two between the certificate and an independent result is inside what two labs disagree by

EE

99.2 against a certificate of 97.4 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question

QP

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

EE

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

SB

my vial assayed under label but the purity was fine, which matters more

SB

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

my sheet has 3 lots from CPC with a spread under a point, which is tight

whats the underfill rate people are actually seeing

update from 17 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

underfill is more common than impurity. if you only test purity you are testing the less likely failure

*Medutest not the other one

log the lot number

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

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

whats the lot

coming back after 10 months with a follow up result, where do i put it

how much does sample handling on my end affect the number

one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally, ill dig out the number

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

SS

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