thanks, one vial, one lab, one date
update from 14 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both, Janoshik did the run
has anyone had a supplier respond to a posted result
purity and assay both
a single low result on a supplier with thirty clean ones is a vial, and the archive treats it that way, thats one data point

contradicting my own earlier one independent numbers and certificate numbers being close is the expected outcome, not the surprise
