three years of Janoshik threads, summarised so you do not have to read them
three years of Janoshik threads, summarised so you do not have to read them — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested.
Tested three lots over a year rather than three vials from one lot. Cost the same and told me something completely different.
Sent a vial in specifically to check a supplier’s claim after a good experience. It matched. Boring result, worth logging.
Have now spent more on testing than on some of the orders. No regrets — the log is the reason I can buy without agonising.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The template is vendor, compound, batch, service, claim, result, and who paid. Every one of those fields exists because a result missing it has been argued about here before.
the trend across lots is worth more than any single figure
date of analysis matters as much as the number
if you are going to test, test the thing you actually received
inter-lab variance runs a point or two, plan your outrage accordingly
inter-lab variance runs a point or two, plan your outrage accordingly
Adding the boring but useful bit: say whether you paid for it. It is the basis of the whole log.
