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

- area_percent — for the archive update from 20 months ago: retested the same supplier, result came back better, logged both 17:22
test it again
whats the lot
i have never regretted spending the money on a test. i have regretted not testing twice
thats a fill problem
i had a result i am fairly sure was a handling error on my side and i logged it as such

my read after three years of this: purity is mostly fine across the market and fill consistency is where suppliers differ
one bad test does not condemn a supplier. one good test does not clear one. both halves get ignored equally
the widest spread in my data is about 2.6 percentage points across five lots from one supplier
whats the worst result anyone has logged and what happened next
selection bias
anyone had a result they think was a lab error rather than a bad vial
log the lot number
test it again
which lab
if you are testing to settle an argument you will not settle it with n of 1
