I actually have a degree in science. Took organic chemistry in college. Got to work with a gas chromatograph for a little while. So I understand the basics. I’m nowhere near being an expert but I submit samples of various media to a 3rd party laboratory that we subcontract. I know who to ask questions too. They won’t ever be able to run analysis on any illegal substances simply because they don’t have the calibration standards. And anything that they run would be logged as part of their QA/QC requirements to maintain their accreditation.
As far as the sources here? Well, we may be a smidge mean every now and then. But contrast that with ASF (which motivated my thread “Why MESO is so hard on Sources) where they embrace and LOVE the sources that PAY to source there. They currently have a special on bit of infectious gear from Feral:

Dude had to go to hospital and get lanced. Looks like fun doesn’t it?
The guy is a contributing veteran member over there and posted wondering how to NICELY report the infection. Afraid of blowback or creating “drama” I guess. He indicated what he was running and the other bros over there seem to be siding with the source.
What would MESO do in this situation? Yep. The source would be cooked alive.
MESO isn’t changing. Fuck the sources. We stick together as MESO members and it flushes out the crackhead kitchen brewers. Even Sym’s vials of floaters didn’t cause blood and puss. The guys that noticed the floaters reported it right away.
@justanoob I believe was the first and he handled it perfectly. ASF would typically want that shit handled behind the scenes.
