how much of what we believe about Medutest actually comes from PeptideMeter threads

Resolved Clean Column ×5

The title is the whole question — how much of what we believe about Medutest actually comes from PeptideMeter threads — but here is why I am asking.

The thing that decided it for me was that SGN answered a column-and-gradient question in writing without asking why I wanted to know.

Started buying small deliberately, tested every lot for the first four, then stopped testing every lot because there was nothing to find.

Sent the same compound from BCH and KP to Medutest in the same month. Both came back above the claim on the certificate — mine was 98.8% on a stated 98.0%.

Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.

Left up. It names an operation, it carries a date and a lot, and it is written as a report rather than an accusation.

Independent testing is worth more than a supplied certificate for one structural reason: the chain of custody. A member who buys, ships and pays is testing the same thing you would receive.

a claim with no batch number is a marketing document

Hangzhou Meite Bio came up in three threads the week I was ordering and I could not find a single independent result for them anywhere. Went with a documented supplier instead.

A certificate with a purity figure and no method line is not falsifiable. You cannot reproduce it, you cannot check it, and it tells you nothing about how the number was produced.

The wider-market rows in the directory carry a band and a report count and nothing else, deliberately. Anything more would be manufacturing precision that the evidence does not support.

buy small first, test it, then decide

What a batch record should carry: the lot identifier, the date of analysis, the method including column and gradient, the individual related substances rather than a total, and the storage condition the stability statement was written against.

Yes, and the reason the wider-market table has no scores is that a score built on two reports would be a lie with a decimal point.

the lot on the vial has to match the lot on the certificate, every time

Did you ask for the batch-specific certificate, or the generic one?

Did the lot code on the vial match the paperwork?
