batch: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Discussion Slow Clap ×2 Long Haul ×1 Well Actually ×3

Confession thread, sort of.

I went from 1.7mg to 0.25mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 9 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.

So now I have injection-site soreness I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.

Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 17 reads it before doing the same thing.

Yeah, the PeptideMeter number matching the claim is the actual signal.

the Janoshik and VendorInvestigate results differ by 4 points, both inside inter-lab variance

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

multiple batches from SWB show a spread, that is the data

the 93.7% result confirmed the vendor claim, that is the signal

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

u/priya_ogunleye73 points·1 year ago

Was that the vendor COA or your own test?

u/medutest_mel156 points·1 year ago
the Medutest number or it did not happen

u/crp_curious41 points·1 year ago

Is that 98.4% area or mass?

Mechanistically the bit that matters is test results. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

u/refund_ledger42 points·1 year ago

reship and retest is the honest way to handle a low result

u/meera_sandvik49 points·1 year ago·edited

I am going to push back on this slightly.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 23 weeks to accept.

Not to be pedantic but batch and purity are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Adding to this: below spec is doing more work than the comment implies.

Tested 17 batches from CPC over 90 weeks. Spread was 98.7% to 98.9, mostly 98.7. Consistent vendor.

Yeah, the VendorInvestigate number matching the claim is the actual signal.

Tested 20 batches from GL Biochem over 49 weeks. Spread was 94.2% to 97.9, mostly 94.2. Consistent vendor.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

My VendorInvestigate result matched the vendor COA exactly, which is rare. GGPeps deserves that note in the directory.
