Anyone Done LCMS Testing?

[Tator]

Has anyone done a LCMS test to identify what peptide they have by Janoshik? If so, what was your experience like? Turn around times? Etc?
If you took back at my last post I was sent something I thought was Reta but clearly it isnt so far.

For better or for worse, Jano is the “gold standard” lab in this space and as such is quite busy. Therefore, turn around times can be slow. Add to that the international customs process, which also delays things. These factors result in testing that can be slower than if we had a domestic lab that vendors would accept. Even communications from Jano are slow.

Ive been emailing them past few days and they respond within a day so far. But the website doesnt load my order into a cart. And when I make an account nothing happens. Have you used Janoshik? Im wondering if im on the right site.

Yes, I've led several test groups and have used Jano for the testing on all of the groups. I never signed up for an account or ordered the testing through their website, I did it all through email. And the emails were slow. Maybe they have hired more help if you're getting responses within a day.

Making sure you're not a bot!

Finnirick will test common peptides for free

Use jano for blind testing or exotic peptides. Jano has been overwhelmed lately by the peptide crowd, it’s more commonly used for anabolic testing and they started offering peptides too recently

If by "free" you mean send it off to disreputable labs that are wrong more often than right after data mining all your personal information to share with god knows who, then yes.
While I'm at it, another one to avoid is AFI. From a server that tests labs, they sent known bad samples to labs to see how accurate they are:

1st offense:
NAD+ stated concentration 200mg/ml
BT labs - confirmed no NAD
Jano - confirmed no NAD
AFI - 242mg/ml

2nd offense:
Tirz stated MG 30
Bt labs: filler
Accumark Labs: filler
Jano: filler
AFI: 32.31mg

May i ask how did you do payment through them? Im guessing crypto is the obvious choice since it being through email.
Are you able to share which email as im skeptical of the website at the moment. For a few weeks the website was not able to add anything to the cart, nor was I able to create an account as the page was not loading stuff into the cart/the account login correctly.
For a few weeks I'd figure someone would of mentioned they arent able to buy tests through their website but no one has.
When I emailed janoshik they got back to me over the weekend correcting the issue.
How no one asked if they were down was beyond me.

Jano's website is always under attack or something. DoS type of issues.

The email address I always used is info @ janoshik.com

The groups I led, each member paid their share directly to Jano using the quote number using Revolut (an online payment service). That process may have changed since my last group, so you definitely want to verify with Jano. Somehow I think Jano now has their own online payment service, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Also keep in mind that there is a practical limit on the number of group member making payments. Not sure of the size of your group, you should only be so lucky to have too large of a group.

This message is one I pulled from the FPPG Test Leads group, reminding people that only one in the group should be communicating with Jano and that you let them know how many are in your group. And that payment should only commence once you've finalized the quote. I think that that is the most important (the email was from Jano to a test lead).

Good luck.

It's been discussed and addressed by jano on most major testing platforms.

Appreciate the info! However I'm not testing as a group, only solo

Doing the Lord’s work! Testing makes us all safer, so thank you!

 

[PepPimp]

I am currently testing solo as well. But would really like to get involved with group testing. Just don't know how to find one.

Usually the vendor's TG group will have information on where independent 3rd party testing is done. Testing by the vendor or within the group is always sus.

One of the best places to look for test groups is on Telegram. Two repository for test request and invites for testing groups are Flying Purple Pep Guild and Stairway to Gray (StG), both on Telegram.

As @RetCurious mentioned, if you go on the vendor's telegram group, there will often be a separate section to connect people into independent testing groups, like this:

Also try searching here for LS Testing. There's a whole forum section for testing and you'll find them there posting results (for safety or after lockup). I think they're open again, but you'll need to join a test to get in, and message littledragon.

Yes, my bad for also not mentioning LS Testing. Really good recommendation.

 

[PepPimp]

Thank you both for your knowledge and guidance. Still trying to get used to TG. I did try and engage with STG with no success. So, I am obvious doing something wrong or going to the wrong links. I will just continue to try and find my way in that space.

STG is great because it's free and open, but well known for being so busy it's impossible to follow! TG doesn't help, though it was still hard with discord before all the nukes.

 

[PepPimp]

This is my struggle with STG.

Also, I did message Littledragon last week with my interest in group testing but have not received a reply yet.

I tried several times a few months back and was never able to gain entrance and got worn out with it and moved on. Some groups feel like a gatekeeping social clubs and honestly if that's what they are I'm not interested. I'm here to learn and help and don't have time for the bullshit.

I think it's mostly under the guise of not getting nuked, but agree, if the gates are too crazy, I just move on.

There is this GB channel I've been trying to get into. I DM'd the owner and she said in April that there were no pending GBs so no invite needed. I tried again in May, she says that they are not accepting invites, but to join her backup group and an invite will be posted there. No deal is that good that I have to jump through that many hoops just to get in a group. Heading off to the frog guy where no such gates exist 🤣.
