Quick one. Canada here. reconstitution works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given…

comment on batch vs related substances — genuinely asking which matters more in c/coa · 8 points · 1 year ago
area% is not mass%, and here is exactly why it matters
comment on why does nobody talk about related substances in c/coa · 1 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, 96.8% area is not the problem, the missing impurity breakdown is the problem.
Disagree on that part. 93.7% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [Discussion] the purity advice in here is 8 years out of date in c/labresults · 3 points · 1 year ago
testing the vendor claim versus testing your actual vial are two different posts
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring bacteriostatic water at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/reconstitution · 1k points · 1 year ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
comment on genuine question about bacteriostatic water that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/reconstitution · 1 points · 1 year ago
Reconstituted at 2mL when I meant 14mL. Caught it because the units looked wrong. Write the concentration.

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

The single most useful thing I did was write the concentration on the vial. Stopped all the confusion after that.
comment on tried PBS for 8 weeks. here is what happened. in c/glp1aus · 6 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 99.0, not 98.9.
Disagree on that part. 94.2% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.
comment on Spain: batch, and what it actually costs here in c/coa · 88 points · 1 year ago
The chromatogram trace is where the real information lives. The summary number is just a headline.
comment on is it normal to get constipation at week 29 in c/reconstitution · 8 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
comment on help me understand units, I have read the wiki twice in c/reconstitution · 22 points · 1 year ago
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
comment on the compounding question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1aus · 57 points · 1 year ago
PBS listings change the cost completely
comment on area percent — my 20-week log, condensed into one table in c/coa · 56 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, 96.8% area is not the problem, the missing impurity breakdown is the problem.
comment on small win: shortage stopped being a problem at week 71 in c/glp1aus · 17 points · 2 years ago
Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 98.0% and 97.9% in c/coa · 164 points · 2 years ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with certificate of analysis, not with what you concluded.
comment on [Discussion] purity is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coa · 67 points · 2 years ago
axis labels included, always
comment on [Discussion] purity is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coa · -24 points · 2 years ago
Metadata check caught a COA that was created in a browser four months after the analysis date. Not evidence of fraud, but worth flagging to QSC.

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom. I have been tracking related substances against triglycerides for 11 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The…
