Please explain to us what a sterility test is.
Straw man and and wrong. You obviously don't understand how and why pharma is priced the way it is. Hint: it's mostly things that have nothing to do with a few hundred dollar test.
Who said they have to be FDA standard? That's obviously impossible. What's wrong with more testing.
I understand that people get irritated with
@readalot, but I don't get why people are opposed to his want for more testing. If enough people demand sterility testing and vendors who do it get more business, it will become the standard and we will all be better and safer for it. What's wrong with advancing the UGL standards?
Those who argue that some extra testing will make UGL unaffordable are either wildly ignorant or can't use the basic functions in a calculator. Vendors make loads of cash off us and you think a few hundred bucks more testing will effect them?
There was a time when there was no testing at all so guys would buy vials and hope for the best. It was totally fucked. Testing became available, buyers demanded testing, pressured vendors, and now we live in a world of UGL that is WAY better than before. Now smug UGL users enjoy the new standards but crap on people trying to increase the standards. Lazy and ungrateful IMO.
Some guys attitudes here come off like a degenerate drug addict mentality. It's a bad look.
I doubt QSC is the battleground to advance into new tests, but eventually other vendors will and as they bite off a bigger piece of the market others will follow.
Here's a quote from Millard on the topic. He actually has the same opinion as
@readalot
"Keep in mind that essentially everyone is allowed to participate as a vendor.
The lab test report requirement represents the absolute minimum to post in the Underground. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It does NOT represent an attempt, in any way whatsoever, to satisfy a requirement for approval, endorsement, validation, vetting, accountability, or trustworthiness of brand's product/services.
A few random lab test reports here and there are not enough. Community members should demand more. (Quantitative/qualitative/microbial testing of every batch of every product offered is a start...)
I hope this goes without saying. But in case it doesn't, it's now been explicitly stated above."
