Highlights from this day
  • LC_MS_Lena — the trials were run on manufactured, characterised product, so honestly they tell you about the molecule not about anyone's vial 23:08
  • chain_of_custody — pulled from the log this morning, purity only, all labs mixed together which is a caveat 23:18
  • chain_of_custody — that is a better way to put it than i managed 23:29
  • dorm_fridge — that is the clearest version of this i have read 23:58
SO

the mods maintain the log. the room supplies the evidence and argues about it, which is the correct division, not advice obviously

log it either way

MM

two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing

SO

if you want to help, buy a lot, test it, and post the report with the lot number. that is the whole contribution

🎉8

unrelated but the log is readable chronologically and that is deliberate. the trajectory matters more than the current line

the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now

DF

genuine question because everyone in here treats 99 as a pass and 97 as a shrug

does two points of purity actually matter to anything

MP

it matters to how much you trust the process that made it

LM

that is the right answer and i want to expand it because the naive version is wrong

two points of purity is not two points less effect. the impurity is usually related peptide, not sand

what a 97 tells you is that the synthesis or the purification ran looser than a 99. it is a process signal more than a product signal

LM

correct, and the report tells you. unknown peaks are the ones worth caring about, related peptide much less so

LM

the trials were run on manufactured, characterised product, so honestly they tell you about the molecule not about anyone's vial

Cited study
Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Obesity without Diabetes (SELECT)
NEJM · 2023
17,604 participants, 2.4mg weekly — the outcomes data everyone quotes, all on pharmaceutical-grade drug

nothing in that literature says anything about a 97 percent lot, because nobody runs an outcome trial on one

MP

which is exactly why we do not extrapolate from trial numbers to vendor lots in here

QH

and why nobody in this channel tells anyone what to do with what they bought

CO

pulled from the log this morning, purity only, all labs mixed together which is a caveat

VendorEntriesMean purityLowestHighestSpread

Sangon Biotech698.7%97.8%99.2%1.4
MP

TFC at 2.4 spread and 98.4 mean is a perfectly good supplier with looser process control. that is a sentence i can defend

MM

TFC also priced 8 percent under JEEP on my last basket, so the spread is arguably priced in

LM

six entries and a tight spread, on a company that runs a proper analytical department for its other product lines. unsurprising

MM

*Sangon Biotech, using the full name because someone will confuse it with the other Shanghai names

MP

there are four Shanghai companies in the log and everyone confuses them constantly

LM

read the peak table, check whether the shortfall is related peptide or unknown, and see whether that vendor's other lots look like it

one 97 in a line of 99s is a lot. a whole column of 97s is a process
