comment on [Discussion] are the c/vendorvetting evidence rules too strict (no) in c/meta · -27 points · 6 days ago
Feed position is a function of early votes and time. That structurally favours agreeable early answers over correct late ones, which is why sorting by controversial occasionally is worth the effort.

Net peptide content on the certificate?

Purity methods differ by compound class. A gradient and wavelength developed for one peptide will not necessarily resolve the relevant impurities of another.

ask what the reference standard was
comment on genuine question about secretagogue that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/researchpeptides · 1 points · 1 months ago
For any compound with a thin testing history, identity is the first question. Mass spectrometry against a theoretical mass answers it; an area-percent purity figure does not.

modmail first, always, and the thread second
RetaAndRegret2 is right that the strict evidence rule is the asset, not the friction.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 94.2% and 96.8% in c/researchpeptides · 275 points · 9 months ago
purity methods differ between compound classes

lyophilised and stored cold is the default for a reason
comment on the meta thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/meta · 33 points · 11 months ago
Push back: the ranking is not hiding anything. The formula is published and you can reproduce the ordering.

Not convinced. A purity figure without a stated method is not comparable to one that has a method attached.
comment on [Lab] SGN BPC — VendorInvestigate came back 97.8% against a claimed 97.0% in c/researchpeptides · 10 points · 1 year ago
Asked for identity confirmation on an unusual line and got a mass spectrum with the theoretical mass alongside. That is the answer I now look for everywhere.

I would not treat catalogue breadth as a quality signal. It is a business decision, not an analytical one.

removals get explained publicly where the rule allows it
comment on [Discussion] ranking is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/meta · 2 points · 2 years ago
That is a complaint rather than a proposal. Bring wording and it can actually be discussed.
