I tried something a little different with this test. Instead of trying to match the test sample to the crappy pictures on the Labmax website, I tested Gearline's Organon Nile Sust side by side with a sample of Mexican Organon Sostenon that I already had. The Mexican Sostenon was from a rediject (sealed in tray/packaging when I purchased), and the authenticity has been confirmed with blood work. Basically I am using the Mexican Sust as a "control", which IMO minimizes the importance of exactly matching the color in the picture as long as the two samples match each other. While this method uses a lot of tests, in my opinion there is less grey area and need for interpretation. I was performing the test by myself, so I had to add the samples one at a time. The test on the left in the video (Mexican Sust) was added first. I may have added a slightly larger sample to the test on the left as well. In the video it appears slightly darker, but in person it was almost exactly the same, especially after a little more time passed. While one was Mexican and one was Egyptian, the oil weights/colors were the same. I would tend to think Sust would be a tough one to get a + labmax from a knock off. In a knock off test E you could just add a little test E and you would get a positive result. I would think to get Sust to match a legit Sust sample one would have to add all 5 esters in the right proportion to get the color this close and the changes to occur at the same rate. This is just my speculation, but check out the videos and I would be interested to hear others opinions.
