  • fasting_insulin — for the archive what interests me is when the gap goes the same direction every time. once is noise, three times is a pattern 20:19
  • luerlok — sorry to jump in 97.4 against a certificate of 96.8 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question post the lot, the purchase month, the… 21:32
  • batch_variance — i told ERP about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due 22:32

i had a result i am fairly sure was a handling error on my side and i logged it as such

❤️1💀1

coming back to this log the boring results too. a channel that only records failures produces a false picture

CC

my sheet has 9 lots from GGPeps with a spread under a point, which is tight

LU

has a supplier ever disputed a result posted here

LU

my read after three years of this: purity is mostly fine across the market and fill consistency is where suppliers differ

LU

a single sample tells you about a single vial. that is genuinely all it tells you, someone check my working

FI

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

ok so do the results in this channel skew because people test when suspicious

TO

quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for, n of 1 obviously

LM

how do you separate batch variance from supplier variance

LM

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

TO

the results in this channel skew because people test when they are suspicious. that is selection bias and it is real
i have never regretted spending the money on a test. i have regretted not testing twice

update from 3 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both, happy to be corrected

is it worth testing if the vial has already been through a warm transit

DE

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

BV

a supplier disputing a result is rare here and it has never gone well for the supplier

thats within range

TS

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

LU

sorry to jump in 97.4 against a certificate of 96.8 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question
post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later

HH

does anyone log the negative results, the boring ones

HH

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

🔥8❤️1⚠️2

whats the lot

TS

how many lots do you need before you can say anything about a supplier

the honest limits: hobby chain of custody is weak and any result here should be read with that in mind

while im here certificate said 98.1 and the independent came back 97.4, is that a problem

SS

a point or two between the certificate and an independent result is inside what two labs disagree by

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

LM

my vial assayed under label but the purity was fine, which matters more

BV

i told ERP about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due

LU

is anyone tracking results over time in a way they would share

SS

coming back to this one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally
