Tuesday49 messages12 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • cmp_baseline — quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for 21:04
  • salt_bridge — weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure, anyway 22:05
  • ms_ms_mira — the widest spread in my data is about 2.6 percentage points across five lots from one supplier, from memory 22:13
  • VialBot — New independent result logged — ERP, lot G-0641, purity 97.4% (PeptideMeter). 23:31

i have never regretted spending the money on a test. i have regretted not testing twice

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

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

the results in this channel skew because people test when they are suspicious. that is selection bias and it is real, your mileage will differ

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

nice result

MM

whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next

AP

sample handling on your end absolutely affects it. draw cleanly, ship fast, do not let it sit warm

CB

right so coming back after 26 months with a follow up result, where do i put it

posting my Medutest result on lot SG-1177, what do people make of it

CB

quantity testing is usually a separate line item and it is the one worth paying for

MM

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

sorry to jump in i told WWB about a result they would not have liked and they did not argue. credit where it is due

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

certificate said 96.8 and the independent came back 97.4, is that a problem

when did you buy it

which lab

LM

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

AH

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

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

how do you separate batch variance from supplier variance

SB

weigh the vial before you reconstitute. it costs nothing and catches the common failure, anyway

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

SB

my sheet has 2 lots from ERP with a spread under a point, which is tight

SB

is quantity testing available as a separate thing or bundled

🎉8

thats within range

AH

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

LM

anyone tested the same lot twice at different labs

[edited]
AH

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

RS

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

New independent result logged — ERP, lot G-0641, purity 97.4% (PeptideMeter).

99.2 against a certificate of 96.8 is fine. the same supplier landing low four times in a row is a question
