Highlights from this day
  • oasis_ola — weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure 19:45
  • area_percent — does anyone log the negative results, the boring ones 20:05
  • no_escrow_nate — update from 18 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both 21:44

is quantity testing available as a separate thing or bundled

RT

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

one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally, happy to be corrected

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

OO

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

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

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

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

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

whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next

LL

i told WWB about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due, still working it out

posting my Janoshik result on lot A-2418, what do people make of it

coming back after 2 months with a follow up result, where do i put it

NE

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

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

👀1🧊11😂1

test it again

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

Reminder for no_escrow_nate: dose day is today. Set 3 days ago.

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

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

SA

i had a result i am fairly sure was a handling error on my side and i logged it as such

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

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

update from 18 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

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

my read after three years of this: purity is mostly fine across the market and fill consistency is where suppliers differ

LM

i test roughly every tenth vial. it is a sampling strategy, not paranoia

log the lot number

one data point

anyone tested the same lot twice at different labs

QP

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

ok so how do you post a result so it is actually useful to somebody in a year

VO

genuine question sample handling on your end absolutely affects it. draw cleanly, ship fast, do not let it sit warm, take that with a pinch of salt
