I'd be only happy to test 10+ pills per each sample, but I don't see anybody paying for that willingly, unfortunatelyAh right, cheers for that Jano.
Tbh I've looked at your test results before but that didn't register as I've been more looking more out of curiosity than anything.
I kinda assumed, without thinking about it, that when there's been just one oral sample result on a report, you've reported the average of a sample of X tabs / caps to get a representative figure.
My fault for assuming.
Problem for me now is that the magic number for a representative of a batch across different industries is 10 samples. US USP is 10-30, depending on type, IIRC & the UK food industry is 10 samples as bare minimum for a manual QC check on weights etc.
Kinda throws the validity out the window for me tbh, with orals anyway. Not saying that that means they're totally worthless, but I've worked in QC & the training sticks.
That's not a criticism of your testing btw. Fair enough you charging for extra work.
It isn't even really a criticism of Iron Anabolics either. Can't blame them for doing what most are probably doing.
Has taken the sheen off a few tests though & will look more closely next time.
Cheers.
The thing is, the consumption of solvents, other consumables and liquidation of dangerous chemical waste is costly and each additional pill just adds to that. And with people sending in blind samples I cannot really use anything less than great overabundance of solvent, otherwise I risk I'm at the edge, or past one, of solubility of the unknown compound of interest.
