the thymosin thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
the thymosin thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Naming in this space is inconsistent. Several widely used names map to more than one molecule, so a catalogue number and a sequence beat a common name every time. Why purity and net…
Same. Net peptide content is where the difference between the label and the vial actually shows up.
Agreed — identity first for anything off the well-travelled list. The purity number is meaningless until you know what it is pure of.
catalogue depth is not the same as catalogue quality
ask what the reference standard was
ask what the reference standard was
This is the rule for anything unusual. Identity before anything else.
the less-tested the compound, the more the identity test matters
Yes. Naming conventions in this corner are loose enough that the same word covers several different molecules.
research-use-only material is not approved for human use
Yes. Nothing in this catalogue is approved for human use and the board should keep saying so.
