Addressing just one of your points, Janoshik did his own personal testing for metals in the past and across a wide variety of vendors never found anything so he doesn't offer the test because it doesn't seem to have value. Can safely assume that various metal contamination don't seem to be present in AAS.@Qingdao Sigma Chemicals Good evening. What impurity analysis do you perform on your raw API and / or finished product batches?
Have you had a 3rd party analytical lab perform a non targeted impurity screen using GCMS (LCMS as well for higher BP impurities)? Metals screen with ICP? I understand you don't possess these tools in house from your intro posts. Is that still correct?
Yes I understand most subscribers now do purity checks on raws and finished products via HPLC. I want to understand how you are raising the bar for harm reduction with impurity analysis (in addition to purity analysis).
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
In general, no vendor is doing impurity testing for other things, including QSC, other than HGH dimer testing. That testing would cost an additional $80-120 for each contaminant and not enough people are willing to foot that bill for testing labs to do that.
If you are interested in it, right now the best option is to get FDA-approved pharma versions from outfits like Defy Medical / etc. You may also be able to pay for limited additional QA/QC testing yourself from Jan or find other labs which can do this.
