instrument quality is less important than analyst consistency
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on two labs, same vial, 98.1 and 96.4. both right? in c/hplc · 160 points · 7 days ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
comment on what does 0.25 mean, 0.25 of what in c/newbiequestions · 2 points · 15 days ago
What does the wiki say?
comment on [Lab] LC-MS confirmed identity but the UV purity is 94%. now what in c/hplc · 52 points · 16 days ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on everyone here has a spreadsheet, do i need a spreadsheet in c/newbiequestions · 14 points · 24 days ago
is this normal week 9 — yes, probably
comment on someone explain chromatogram to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/hplc · 94 points · 1 months ago
Strongly agree. Largest single impurity tells a different story than total purity.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about week one in c/newbiequestions · 9 points · 1 months ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on anyone else notice basics kicking in around week 90 in c/newbiequestions · 2 points · 1 months ago
Pens or research vials?
comment on small win: chromatogram stopped being a problem at week 35 in c/hplc · 133 points · 2 months 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 [Lab] SGN cagri — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6% in c/hplc · 718 points · 2 months ago
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
comment on Germany: first time, and what it actually costs here in c/newbiequestions · 11 points · 2 months ago
rudeness is removed faster than bad questions
comment on 8 months in and HPLC is still the thing I get wrong in c/hplc · 226 points · 4 months ago
two labs, two different baselines, two different purity numbers, both honest
comment on [PSA] what is is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/newbiequestions · 29 points · 5 months ago
Titration means going slow. The 0.25mg is the starter, not the dose you stay on, not the dose you need to feel it.
comment on [Question] chromatogram — what am I missing here in c/hplc · 0 points · 5 months ago
Yeah, the chromatogram profile matters more than the headline number.
Adding to this: method development is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #4 — Spain, 7 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/newbiequestions · 90 points · 6 months ago
You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.
comment on the week one thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/newbiequestions · 4 points · 6 months ago
Are you on a pen or vial?
comment on help me understand first time, I have read the wiki twice in c/newbiequestions · 3 points · 7 months ago
what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation
comment on what is is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1uk in c/newbiequestions · 21 points · 9 months ago
what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation
Adding to this: normal is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on genuine question about integration that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/hplc · 13 points · 11 months ago
instrument quality is less important than analyst consistency
comment on does purity actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/hplc · 1 points · 11 months ago
Detection wavelength? method development and that changes at different wavelengths.
