Saturday14 messages2 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • turnaround_tam — ok so my sheet has 8 lots from Homopeptide with a spread under a point, which is tight 18:39
  • turnaround_tam — one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally 19:31
  • pinch_not_stretch — a single sample tells you about a single vial. that is genuinely all it tells you, take that with a pinch of salt 19:49
  • pinch_not_stretch — post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later 20:21

TT

a result without a lot number and a purchase date is an anecdote with a pdf attached

TT

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

PN

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

is quantity testing available as a separate thing or bundled

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

thats a fill problem

lot        bought    purity   assay/label
A-2418     2025-03   99.1%    9.6 / 10mg
A-2601     2025-08   98.7%    9.8 / 10mg
B-0114     2026-01   99.3%    9.4 / 10mg
B-0329     2026-04   98.9%    9.9 / 10mg

how do you post a result so it is actually useful to somebody in a year

does anyone log the negative results, the boring ones

PN

a single sample tells you about a single vial. that is genuinely all it tells you, take that with a pinch of salt

the widest spread in my data is about 2.6 percentage points across five lots from one supplier

post the lot, the purchase month, the lab, the number, and what you were expecting. that makes it useful later
