As a sensitive kind of gal, I used to think this and @ZippityDooDah were overly cynical and little jaded.
Now I'm sure it's not even cynical enough. You need to stay on your toes in this dystopian carnival 😄

True story.....

We might be running our own circus, but the monkeys and elephants are definately borrowed!

Now you know how it feels to be one of my ex-wives.

Being new, and perhaps not risk averse enough..I would like to hear about any bad batch experiences researchers have had. I hear about trips to ER but usually on reddit and those people made choices I would never make.. What are the likely bad batch scenarios? Not theoretical, but actual.

Too much overfill. Too little pep. No pep. Wrong pep. Weird contaminates.

Some bad humanin supposedly sent people to the ER. I personally bought tesa that turned out to be MT2.

View attachment 8212can someone help me understand this? if the purity is 99.61% why is the test score low? Is it because of the difference in quantity?

If I understand correctly, they "mark down" differences between the label (10 mg) and the test results (for example 11.590 mg), because for some of these peps that number is important to figuring out your dosing from that vial. I think they do take into account if the vendor's COA points out the difference and if they point out the difference when advertising the product - although you would need to check with Finnrick on that. They are looking to ensure that the customer knows exactly what they are getting - 10 mg or 11.59 mg.

Great points, can never be too skeptical of vendors. That just makes me think group testing as a whole is pointless if no batch information can be trusted

Group testing is not as certain as individual testing, but it's always a tradeoff on how much risk you're willing to take. The kits ARE finished in batches. You just have no idea when one batch stops and another ends. Knowing about the the manufacturing and sales pipeline process allows us to make educated guesses.

This is presupposing there is such a thing as good humanin 😉 (but also that vial almost certainly had nothing to do with it). Also, hows your tan, lol

Yeah, I am very vocal about overfill being an issue. But that is only under the condition that it wasn't known before sale. If the vender marketed it saying it was 11mg who cares if they called it a T10

I did see a couple of reports of bad tesa sending people to ER a month ago..
I am trying to guage the odds of this occuring I guess.

I don't use things that aren't tested. 😘 I'm as pale as ever. It's still sitting in my freezer, I should probably get rid of it.

Bad tesa? I missed that one. Got any deets?

I'm glad to see some of my own thinking echoed here. The reliability of lot codes (or cap colors) could only be influenced by the original manufacturers in collaboration with distributors, and I just don't think they have any incentive (for security reasons). Even if they wanted to label, it would have to be with printed unique codes on the caps/bottles (though fluorescence labeling of the lyoph would be cool), and in my short time I've seen plenty of mistakes here which are so reputationally bad they must be screw-ups. Frankly, other than more testing/filtering I'm not sure the compounding pharms are that much better. I certainly had a batch from one I didn't trust (ended up alternating 2 sources for 4 weeks) never went back and tossed out jabs at $100 each.

When group buys get different color caps that are supposedly to be the same batch, you have to laugh or cry (I guess it's better than getting the same color for different peps). I almost think that with the data available on fill%, purity, and cap colors from different vendors over time there's almost enough statistical data to figure how many sources there are and which distributors use which ones. Maybe that's part of what Finnrick is up to?

I work in the same industry (and not tangentially, I'm a swe at a very prominent corp).

What's an swe?
