the honest framing is always the same: one vial, one lab, one date, and here is the paperwork, that is within what i would expect
is it worth testing if the vial has already

- reed_returns — is it worth testing if the vial has already been through a warm transit 17:57
i tested a vial i had deliberately left warm for a week and it came back indistinguishable, which surprised me, reference number is on it
if the vial has been through a bad transit you are testing the transit as much as the supplier, paperwork attached
expected this one, logging anyway i test roughly every tenth vial. it is a sampling strategy, not paranoia, reference number is on it
minor point i tested a lot a year apart and the second number was within noise of the first, not a verdict on anybody
quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for, i did not expect this result
report back from Medutest i record purchase date, test date, lab, lot, purity, assay and the fill weight, and it takes two minutes
numbers are in if you are testing to settle an argument you will not settle it with n of 1, nothing gets removed
submit the lot you actually used, not the spare, or the result is about a different vial, logging the boring ones too
one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally
weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure, the band is what matters
for the results log underfill is more common than impurity. if you only test purity you are testing the less likely failure
one result is one vial. it is a data point about a vial and not a finding about a company, ill dig out the number
ill post the result, thats the whole value
