Wrote the date on the vial as well as the concentration after losing track of which one was opened first.

What concentration did you actually reconstitute at, rather than what did you intend to?

Asked WWB what volume they reconstitute to for their own stability testing and they answered in one line. Useful thing to know.

Which trial, and which arm?

What was the discontinuation rate?
comment on [Explainer] area% is not mass% and here is exactly why it matters in c/coa · 41 points · 7 days ago
The PDF creation date being later than the analysis date is usually a re-issue or a re-export. It is worth one question and it is not evidence of anything on its own.
comment on [Trial Data] STEP 1 vs SURMOUNT-1 side by side, with the caveats in c/trialwatch · 48 points · 7 days ago
Spent an evening with the appendix tables and found the subgroup detail that the entire thread had been speculating about.
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: STEP 1 vs SURMOUNT-1 side by side, with the caveats. Compared myself to a trial mean for about six months before…
comment on [Press Release] new phase 3 numbers, no publication yet, calm down in c/trialwatch · 12 points · 8 days ago
Not convinced. Cross-trial comparison between two programmes with different populations and designs is not a comparison.
comment on [Suspicious] identical chromatogram on two different compounds from the same vendor in c/coa · 0 points · 8 days ago
The PDF creation date being later than the analysis date is usually a re-issue or a re-export. It is worth one question and it is not evidence of anything on its own.
comment on [Math] someone check my arithmetic before i draw this up in c/reconstitution · 48 points · 8 days ago
If your calculation produces a fraction of a unit, the concentration is wrong for your dose. Change the water volume until the numbers land on whole units.
comment on intent-to-treat vs per-protocol explains half the arguments on this site in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 10 days ago
registry entry, protocol, publication — three different documents
water content is on the COA and everyone skips it — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Why the same vial can honestly produce three different…
comment on [COA] what does "related substances 1.4%" actually mean for my vial in c/coa · 8 points · 13 days ago
Net peptide content is the fraction of the powder that is actually peptide once counterion, water and residual solvent are accounted for. A 99% pure acetate salt can still be about 85% peptide by mass.
comment on someone explain units to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/reconstitution · 87 points · 21 days ago
I would not round that figure. At 10mg/mL a rounding error of two units is a real fraction of the intended amount.
comment on SURPASS — 10 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · -39 points · 1 months ago
Argued for a week about a result and then read the limitations section, which conceded most of my opponent’s point.
comment on identity and quantity are two questions and most COAs answer one in c/coa · 22 points · 1 months ago
Yes. The structure of the document matters at least as much as the number printed on it.
comment on help me understand mg/mL, I have read the wiki twice in c/reconstitution · 52 points · 1 months ago
Yes, and the dead-space point is worth repeating: it is small, it is real, and it is the same for every draw.
comment on does MASH actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/survodutide · 1 points · 1 months ago
How fast was the escalation in that protocol?
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify SURPASS in c/trialwatch · 7 points · 1 months ago
Is that intention-to-treat or completers?
Adding the check nobody runs — the registered protocol is public and takes two minutes to compare.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring jurisdiction at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/customs · 1 points · 1 months ago
That delay was at clearance, not with the carrier. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
comment on [Discussion] insulin syringe is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · -28 points · 1 months ago
Aim the stream down the wall of the vial rather than into the cake. Reconstitution is a solubility problem, not a mixing problem, and mechanical shear does nothing helpful.
comment on do related substances actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/coa · 10 points · 3 months ago
Small fix — 214nm, not 280nm. It matters here because the impurity you are asking about barely absorbs at the longer wavelength.

Did you ask for the batch-specific document, or is this the catalogue one?
comment on do related substances actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/coa · 300 points · 3 months ago
Net peptide content is the fraction of the powder that is actually peptide once counterion, water and residual solvent are accounted for. A 99% pure acetate salt can still be about 85% peptide by mass.
The title is the whole question — do related substances actually matter or is it forum lore at this point — but here is why I am asking. The PDF creation date being…

a seizure notice is a document with a process attached, read it

a hold is not a seizure and people conflate them constantly

Correcting myself upthread: the guidance I quoted was superseded last year.
unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about import is guesswork. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. Research-use-only…

write the concentration on the vial in marker, that is the whole post
Something I keep coming back to: USDC is doing more work than we give it credit for. Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is…
comment on the jurisdiction thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/customs · 37 points · 5 months ago
Nothing on this board is legal advice. Where a notice carries a deadline or a consequence, that is a matter for somebody qualified in your own jurisdiction.

chromatogram or it did not happen
comment on someone explain FLOW to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/trialwatch · 360 points · 6 months ago
Cardiovascular outcome trials are powered for events, not for weight, and are typically run in a different population with different inclusion criteria. Reading a weight number out of one is reading a secondary endpoint.

the supplier cannot reverse it and neither can you
comment on [Discussion] bacteriostatic water is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 7 points · 6 months ago
Reconstituted at 2mL when I meant to use a different volume. Caught it because the units looked wrong on the barrel. Now I write 2.5mg/mL on the glass before I put the cap back.
comment on [Lab] 24th independent test on QSC — 98.4% on a claimed 98.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/survodutide · 6 points · 6 months ago
research material is not approved for human use, which is why the clinical record here is thin
