You must have missed the two different places where I said that I didn't want to test. I have multiple places that I can have samples run at, one of them utilizing the lc/ms. Granted, when I first started using the independent lab they were lumping everything into one purity based on the elution time, they thought that since everything eluted at the same time, and it contained the analyte, then the product was 100%. 1) I have worked with them to develop separation of the ions through a different column and spent some time and money trying to get that dialed in. Certainly it is improved. 2)While it is not perfect it is functional. If I wanted to spend more time and money then i could get it dialed in tighter; however, I choose not to. 3) We're not building rockets here, we are identifying material. this entire "your way is the wrong way" is not productive. I choose to take the high road and not attack what you are doing, quite contrary actually. I think it builds awareness and that can never be wrong.
I am not offended, no worries there. In order to be offended I have to have something to lose and I just don't have anything like that. Why am I here today? meh, slow day at work I guess. I agree with you 300%, in that, it is for the members on the board to learn. I didn't say they had to learn, but the potential is there for them should they decide to. All countries have libraries for research, but it doesn't mean that everyone uses them.
