comment on asked my compounder where the API comes from. long silence. in c/compounding · 6 points · 2 days ago
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
comment on asked my compounder where the API comes from. long silence. in c/compounding · 20 points · 3 days ago
Not to be pedantic but compounding and API source are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Explainer] why "compounded" does not mean "generic" in c/compounding · 54 points · 4 days ago
Flair changed to match the content.
Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

instrument quality is less important than analyst consistency
comment on what is bac water and why does everyone keep saying it in c/newbiequestions · 1 points · 5 days ago
Week 14 or week 15?
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 76 weeks to accept.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on peak at 4.2 min, nobody can tell me what it is, ideas in c/hplc · 39 points · 5 days ago
a round-robin on baseline integration would be genuinely useful

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

The related substances profile is way more interesting than the main peak %. A 98% with 9 peaks is different from a 98% that is one 5% impurity.
comment on do i need to keep it in the fridge before i mix it in c/newbiequestions · 7 points · 6 days ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Regulatory] state board actions worth reading if you use a compounder in c/compounding · 7 points · 8 days ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is 503A. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on ghost peak turned out to be plumbing. always plumbing. in c/hplc · -38 points · 13 days ago
This is the correct method framing. Column and gradient are load-bearing fields.
comment on [Method] 220nm vs 214nm and what you lose at each in c/hplc · 1 points · 13 days ago
Yeah, the chromatogram profile matters more than the headline number.
comment on how do i know if my dose is working in c/newbiequestions · 10 points · 14 days ago
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
comment on [Lab] identity confirmed but net peptide content was 71% in c/bpc157 · 10 points · 14 days ago
regulatory status changed in 19 countries, check yours
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 59 weeks to accept.
comment on [Lab] LC-MS confirmed identity but the UV purity is 94%. now what in c/hplc · 77 points · 15 days ago
comment on [Lab] LC-MS confirmed identity but the UV purity is 94%. now what in c/hplc · 18 points · 16 days ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with purity, not with what you concluded.
comment on is it bad that i am not nauseous at all in c/newbiequestions · 27 points · 17 days ago
Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.
comment on retention time shifted 0.4 min and nobody wants to talk about it in c/hplc · 19 points · 19 days ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on [Pricing] Ireland Drugs Payment Scheme cap is the most useful thing i learned all year in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 20 days ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
