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

LM

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

HH

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

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

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

VO

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

LM

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

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

does a bad result on one lot condemn the whole supplier

LM

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