Hello my fellow competitor!
Even though I don't really like SIMEC, due to several reasons, I certainly, even as their competitor would not dare to say that they can't detect steroidal compounds they have not been asked to find.
"Their test method isn't as comprehensive yet you're presenting them as better alternatives." Another very bold statement.
Second, your company is based in a house

and as you yourself state, you don't have a lab, you are a forwarder.
Another few things that the members around here might be interested in being informed about:
https://chemclarity.com/index.php/2016/08/18/hplc-guide/ (What is High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)? - ChemClarity)
The first image is just awful. The
baseline noise so high... When I used my older HPLC - 28 year old (sic!) machine I did not have a baseline so noisy and that kinda tells something. I did not even have the degasser on the old one and yet somehow...!!
The second image makes me want to puke my insides out - you consider that serious analytical work?!!
I would kick out 18 year old intern if he tried to present such a chromatograph to me!
First - the
resolution is absolutely horrible - I you can't resolve BB and BA you have nothing to do in a lab! Resolving means that there is a distinct valley between two peaks - they CANNOT be connected in order to get a good result.
Nor you have
resolved the actual compound of the interest, trenbolone acetate!!
The baseline noise is there again and what's worse, there's a HUGE
tailing after the peaks, which leaves us only to wonder what the actual baseline is!
But that does not really matter, because you only need a
baseline for proper
integration (calculating of
area of the peaks, necessary for any
quantification).
But with the
integration you got there even the best baseline would not yield any useful results!
The red lines in the second image are the lines above which the integration, calculating the area, occurs - does it seem to anybody that those lines are drawn at the places where they should be to properly calculate the area of the peak above?
...I bolded the chromatographic terms, so users from around here can google them and check the info from unbiased sources.
I took the pleasure of attaching the pictures, so deleting those from the website will not be very useful.
tldr; Absolute rubbish. Don't trust these results
