unrelated but does a bad result on one lot condemn the whole supplier
underfill is more common than impurity. if you only test purity you are testing the less likely failure

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

update on the earlier thing how do you separate batch variance from supplier variance

certificate said 99 and the independent came back 98.1, is that a problem

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

thats not great

DE

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

HH

does anyone log the negative results, the boring ones

NP

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

HH

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

MM

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

NP

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

MM

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

my sheet has 9 lots from GGPeps with a spread under a point, which is tight

😂6⚠️16

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

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

do you test every order or sample it

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

VB

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

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

LN

sorry to jump in i test roughly every tenth vial. it is a sampling strategy, not paranoia

MP

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

MP

quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for, we shall see

RR

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

👍6❤️4

whats the lot

which lab

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

coming back after 23 months with a follow up result, where do i put it
a supplier disputing a result is rare here and it has never gone well for the supplier

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

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

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

RR

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

LN

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

LN

update from 23 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both

nice result

BB

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

has a supplier ever disputed a result posted here

BB

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

BB

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

DE

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