I read some drama somewhere about QSC was asking peptidetest.com to fake their results, not sure what is the true story behind, but interesting to note ...

I have L60 I wish to test.

I would also like to test a vial of AmoPure L60.
For the add-on charge for sterility testing, is it an extra $250 per person? Or $250 split up among all the folks participating?

Sorry, was a little busy today, it's $250 per the whole testing group (as in it would be split between everyone). In reality only one group should really do it in my opinion.
I don't have a compilation of the full pricing per vial per group yet (I will hopefully get that on Thursday), but I hope I might be able to get a deal to include that.

I *think* i got everyone who has since replied in this thread of through DM, please again just respond with what vials and what mg you want to be tested.
If I missed you, please let me know through this thread or through a DM.
Tomorrow night I will go through all the DMs to start a count, with the last call happening on Thursday, send that count to Peptide test, and get costs. After Thursday, if anyone hasn't responded, I will consider them out of the group test (I have to draw a line somewhere).
I should start a dang tipping jar for myself for a beer
For the record, everyone has been very supportive, and I thank you all for that. Let's hope the payment/shipping portion of this goes more smoothly than the "prep" phase.

You are good, got your DM. Thanks!

Oh, excellent! I’m definitely in for sterility testing, then. Voted yes.
And thanks again for doing all this!
I had no pucks at all. All my vials were loose powder. I wonder if it matters? Well, testing will make that clear!

For people wondering about consistency of the product, there was a study done analyzing lyophilized products to determine if the different consistencies had any impact on product quality:
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The general consensus was this (in a really rough context):
- If the material appears to have been dried by atmospheric conditions vs. a freeze drying process then that would be an indication of an issue.
- Atmospheric conditions, which would look like a "fog" (think like hard water on glassware) or dried material sticking to the sides and look like a collapsed product (or maybe a melting visibility), indicating an issue in the freeze drying process, would be cause for concern.
- None of the current pics I have seen indicate that current flaw in freeze drying. Almost everything looks like cakes/cracked cakes, which is completely normal (maybe some rough shipping, but nothing that should effect the product in a negative use case).
Lyophilized Drug Product Cake Appearance: What Is Acceptable? - PubMed
Cake appearance is an important attribute of freeze-dried products, which may or may not be critical with respect to product quality (i.e., safety and efficacy). Striving for "uniform and elegant" cake appearance may continue to remain an important goal during the design and development of a...

My vials contain no cakes or cracked cakes, just powder that moves freely. Hoping that's normal too.For people wondering about consistency of the product, there was a study done analyzing lyophilized products to determine if the different consistencies had any impact on product quality:

There isn't any defining characteristics when you say powder that would make me feel unease at a product. Products clump/stick together, or sometimes don't, there are a lot of external forces that can cause those differentiation's.
As I said above, if it doesn't look like it's dried atmospherically, then it's probably fine from the aspect of the lyophilization process.
