Ocean Bac Janoshik results (as promised)

[Jfrick11]

I mentioned about 6 weeks ago, that I was in a group buy for Ocean Bac at about 100usd for a case. Janoshik Testing came back today....

PH: 7.23
Janoshik Analytical

Benzyl Alcohol: 8.20 mg/ml

Janoshik Analytical

Sterility: Passed both

Endotoxin: 1.76 Eu/mL. Jano does not list endo as a pass or fail but did provide this correspondence :
Endotoxin is a contamination from gram negative bacteria that might be used in the rHGH manufacture. Lower the amount the better.

The safe dose of endotoxin depends on the body mass of the user. Generally accepted level for endotoxin in injectable products is 5 EU / kg of body mass of the subject, so a 100 kg person would find 500 EU dose of endotoxin safe.

However, different countries list their own limits for acceptable levels of endotoxin. As a lab specialized in chemical analysis, we’re unable to give medical advice regarding safety of use and recommend consulting a medical professional.

So it has about 9% less benzyl alcohol than advertised and a higher pH than the the so-called "acceptable range" of 4.5-7%? Is that far enough off to be of concern?

I’m taking this as a sign my Amazon BAC is good to go.

.82% bezyl alcohol is within the USP spec. 7.23 pH is over the USP spec. There is a thread on Peppy's that discusses the difficulty of properly measuring BAC for pH and alcohol percentage and that it requires a certain methodology. It's not known if Jano follows this methodology or not, but Peter was tagged in the conversation. More to come, possibly.

Testing Lambda next week

Testing Lambda next week

Yes very interested in Lambda results ty

A pH level of 7.3 seems somewhat problematic. While it might not be a major issue for the GLP-1 class, it poses a problem for the reconstitution of CJC-1295 or Ipamorelin.

 

[Chili777]

It's 7.23 pH, which seems close to neutral, but it is problematic for almost all peptides. It would cause faster degradation of just about all of them, and more so with something like Reta. pH is logarithmic, meaning that each unit change represents a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration, so 7.23 pH is 1.7x more alkaline, if my math is correct. All previous tests of Ocean that I've seen were within USP specs, so I think we need to hear what Jano says.

Unfortunately, degradation products like benzaldehyde aren't tested. That would have helped determine whether it's old water whose pH has drifted or whether it's a systematic production issue.

That's not water I'd inject myself with.
