Dimer and related proteins in HGH

We chose dimer and related instead of the pharmacopoeial higher molecular mass proteins either because it either cleared some misunderstandings or fit into the reports easier. I'm not sure which one it was frankly.
Good you gave everyone the secret decoder ring, haha. Thanks!

I just wanted to confirm and caution members to avoid using the term "dimer" to describe the result you are providing.

People can't even get "dimer" right (dimmer lol).

And I'm sure they don't know it means 2 (could just as easily mean "10" like a dime, not realizing the one after dimer is trimer).

So maybe we can keep calling it dimer (or dimmer) and take comfort knowing in this context, it means "more than one" (or more simply, aggregates) since that's what we're getting with this assay (please correct me if I'm wrong on that last part).

Yes, we are getting all DPn where n > 1 or hGH aggregates as you state (DP2, DP3, DP4, ..., etc.)
