both numbers go in
what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves
a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel
a lot number mismatch between the vial and the certificate is a serious finding. post it with photos of both
update from 20 months ago: QST added evidence and the entry now reflects it
a supplier improving shows in the log as later entries, not as earlier entries being edited
*PeptideMeter not the other one
what actually counts as evidence for a verification
never for sale
what counts: an independent report, on a lot you bought yourself, with the lot number, from a lab the room recognises, still working it out
blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs
i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier
