Readalots Enhanced Testing

Why don't we team and help the vendors see the value of testing raws by HPLC. Care to find common ground as a first step? We seem to be making progress.

You and I know the number of vendors testing their raws in the UGL space is much less than 10%. Wouldn't you agree? That is far from well received. Certainly the <10% figure is accurate at MESO.

So what's your answer? Do you agree we should prioritize demanding (or asking in your mind) vendors HPLC test all their raws prior to brewing into product?

Prioritize this as next step?

While I agree that all sources should test raws and finished products do you think that the ones that already do get more business than the ones not doing it? I can tell ya they dont. Meso shifted a few years back and got flooded with reddit members. All most care about are cheap prices. It’s frustrating and was sad to see the shift. A lot of effort was put in to stopping it, which was basically to have QSC removed. We lost some of the last remaining great vets around here due to that particular source being untouchable and able to bend the rules. Ranting a bit now and probably crossing a line.

It’s always been a bit mind blowing why sources don’t test their raws. Or if they do why aren’t they all sharing them with the public? How can they properly brew things if they aren’t testing raws with things like Deca and EQ testing all over the place and poorly?

Anywho, I do feel when vetting new sources if guys want to go ape-shit and demand hplc on their raws as well that has merit rather than all the other noise that’s been trying to be pushed lately. Although, if they are providing hplc reports on finished products and they look good what’s really the point in seeing how the raws tested other than just for knowledge of how raws are testing these days? Again, not opposed to more deeper testing but let’s push it when there is actually cause or concern.

I'm in and actively putting vendors in the database who agree to the raws testing.

People need education on this topic and we can't give up.

In the interest of community building I'll happily reduce the intensity of my push for all this other testing till we get a consistent standard for raws testing implemented here at MESO.

Any takers or are a few of us just talking to ourselves?

Thanks for your comments and excellent 80/20 rule suggestion.

Please weigh in community members.

If the community wants this widespread you better start making some noise. I can't do it all on my own.
