Thank you for your time.
Your HR LCMS is dedicated to gh/peptide testing, correct?
1. So you have indicated your GCMS is set up to screen for AAS side products/androstane raw materials/other assorted organics. Understood. Cost: 170 USD
2. ICP-MS expandable as needed. Cost: 120 USD
3. Residual solvent analysis not available via preferred GC methods since you would need significant investment on the injection system for lower boilers. Got it. Can you provide a little more detail on the moisture analysis? Karl Fischer? Loss on drying? Cost TBD. Need to understand what this 30 USD is doing.
Ok so as we see above a decent starter package will run ~500 USD to test AAS raw. Let's do some calculations.
Assume
1 kg of raw. At 2g per vial that is 500 vials. Let assume a conscientious source who samples from raw bag with 3 samples for testing (triplicate). That is 1500 USD on incremental impurity testing per batch. 1500 USD / 500 vials is an
additional 3 USD per vial.
Let's take a relatively smaller source (5x smaller batch size):
200 g of raw powder / 2 g per vial is 100 vials.
1500 USD / 100 vials = additional
15 USD per vial.

Not far off:
Also, as long as the product is filtered through a sterile 0.22ug filter- mold and bacteria will not pass through. It doesn’t matter if raws have mold in them. For reference - a water particle theoretically is the size of your thumb nail. An oil particle with testosterone dissolved may be the...

Any feedback on my assumptions? Improvements on the rough estimates given above? Yes triplicate is conservative approach. More confidence in the screening may allow that 5 (relatively larger source) to 15 (relatively smaller source) USD per vial to drop.
