Highlights from this day
  • half_life_hal — is area percent the same thing as how many mg are in the vial 10:33
  • VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way. 10:41
  • cagri_curious — two certificates from the same supplier have an identical chromatogram, is that normal the honest summary is that a certificate tells you what the supplier says about… 11:54
  • tarpit_tam — for the archive the honest summary is that a certificate tells you what the supplier says about a lot they chose to test 14:36
BR

the retention time on this one is different from the last lot, problem

gross mass on a jewellery scale plus the water content is enough to catch most underfills, ill dig out the number

BR

a supplier certificate on its own is a starting point, not evidence. that is the whole reason the verification channel exists

how do you verify a certificate is actually from the lab it says

ok so i was wrong about this for a year: area percent under-reports nothing, it just answers a different question than assay does, thats one data point

mixed fonts and inconsistent kerning in one document is worth a second look

HL

is area percent the same thing as how many mg are in the vial

a vial can be 99.4% pure and hold 8.1mg of a 10mg label. both numbers are true and only one of them is the one you care about

HL

while im here certificate is dated before the lot date, is that just sloppiness

Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way.

CC

is water content normally on a certificate or do you have to ask
a lab that reports "greater than 98%" rather than a number is telling you they did not integrate carefully

HL

single wavelength detection can miss a co-eluting impurity that does not absorb there

CC

an identical chromatogram on two different lots is the single biggest tell there is

HL

i keep every certificate in a dated folder and compare them. two suppliers had not changed their template since 2019, thats one data point

retention time shifts between runs are normal. relative retention time is the number to compare

TT

a certificate should name the method, the instrument, the column and the operator. most name none of those

TT

tfa counterion runs higher by mass than acetate. if the certificate does not say, you cannot do the mass balance, still working it out

while im here coming back after 22 months, has the pinned reading guide changed

HL

i have never seen a research certificate with an endotoxin result on it. not once

TT

for the archive the honest summary is that a certificate tells you what the supplier says about a lot they chose to test

HL

if the certificate date precedes the lot date, ask. sometimes it is sloppiness and sometimes it is not

BR

is sterility tested as part of a normal purity certificate

looks re-dated
