[Discussion] can we stop arguing about PeptideMeter until somebody posts a number
can we stop arguing about PeptideMeter until somebody posts a number. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Kept a spreadsheet of quoted versus actual lead time across 22 orders. The quoted number held. Paradigm Peptide came up in three threads the week I was ordering and I…
Why the directory has two tiers, since the question comes up whenever somebody new finds it.
Twenty suppliers have enough independent results, over enough separate lots, over enough time, that the log says something. Those get a page, a test table and a link to their own storefront so you can compare their claims with the record.
The rest — nearly two hundred names — get a row, a band and a report count. Not because they are bad, but because two results is an anecdote about a vial. Manufacturing a score out of that would make the whole directory worthless, and the contrast is the point.
A certificate with a purity figure and no method line is not falsifiable. You cannot reproduce it, you cannot check it, and it tells you nothing about how the number was produced.
Small fix — the figure you quoted is the claimed purity from the certificate, and the independent result was the higher of the two.
Fixing my own comment above: I said 8 orders and it is 32. The pattern is the same, the count was wrong.
That is a report count, not a test count. The table lists both and they are very different numbers.
Agreed on buying small first. The cost of a test is small next to the cost of committing to a supplier you have not checked.
three independent results beat thirty forum posts
Same view. A record you can read beats a rating you cannot inspect, every time.
