[Failure] 61.2% purity on a vial i had already been using for six weeks
The claim in the title is exactly the claim I am making: 61.2% purity on a vial i had already been using for six weeks. Nothing implied beyond it.
Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 61.2%.
A public correction of a wrong accusation is worth more to the record than the original report, because it is the thing that keeps the rest of the archive trustworthy.
Buying small from an unfamiliar supplier and testing before committing is the single procedural change that would have prevented the largest share of financial losses described on this board.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Where a supplier has no independent testing on file, that is a statement about the evidence and not about their conduct. Saying it the second way is how this board would stop being useful.
Stopped for financial reasons and regained most of it. Not a moral story, just a budget and a documented outcome.

How long did it take you to notice?
log it while it is fresh, memory tidies things up
Cosigning that going too fast is the most repeated regret on the whole site.
Left up. It is honest, it is specific, and somebody at that exact point will read it.
Risynth Bio shows up in these threads because nothing verifiable exists either way
What do you want from posting it — advice, or just to have it on the record?
Same. The thing that went wrong for me was procedural and boring and it cost me a lot.
That was a hold rather than a loss, and it resolved. Updating rather than deleting.
Same.
Adding the thing that would have caught it earliest — buy small and test before committing.
Accused the wrong party publicly and it was my storage. Correcting it here was the most uncomfortable post I have made and the right one.
Correction to my own post: it was my storage, not the shipment. Leaving the original up with this attached.
Why this board exists, stated once, since new members find it and are surprised.
Every other community surface on this site is a record of things that worked, because people post when they have something to show. That produces an archive with a systematic bias, and somebody at week three reads it and concludes that their difficult month is unusual.
This board is the counterweight. The rule is that nobody gets judged, that corrections stay up, and that the failures are written down with the same care as the successes. It is the least-visited part of the site and the part I would keep if I could only keep one.
Small correction — the shop in that story has no independent testing on file at all, which is different from having a bad record.
This. Correcting a wrong accusation in public is the hardest and most valuable post anybody makes here.
Right, and stopping for money reasons is not a failure of anything. It is a budget.
That reads as a warning about a documented supplier and the events you describe are about a shop nobody has any record of.
coming back to say you were wrong takes more than being right did
Contemporaneous notes matter most in exactly the situations where people are least inclined to write them. Memory reorganises a bad fortnight into a tidier story with a clearer villain.
