Readalots Enhanced Testing

[Sampei]

Btw let's make a discord for anyone interested? Would be easier to coordinate for future testings etc

To keep results all organized and ideas as well

As soon as you find something that fails these tests, you’ll get a ton of support.

Just doing the test helps keep everyone honest. If there is an incentive to cut a corner here and there or not be thorough..

Second this; creating a Discord for anyone interested in these enhanced testing discussions along with donating would help immensely. @readalot

I havn't gone through all the posts yet, so this may have already been addressed...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe vendors do HPLC testing per batch, whereas Readalot's "additional testing" is for vendor raws. These "additional tests" will capture endotoxins, etc. on vendor raws, thereby tests/results will be much less frequent.

Endotoxin tests can also be performed on AAS oils. In fact, I just send off a vial to be tested for endotoxins, based on the advice of Sir readalot.

You guys don’t look at the endpoint though.

Right now, we hold UGLs accountable with HPLC testing.

UGL tests their raws for purity so they can accurately dose their products.

UGL makes and tests their product to confirm it’s the correct dose.

The customer can always send a blind sample of their own to be tested (hopefully reimbursed by the UGL with a testing incentive).

The results of the customers blind sample should match pretty closely to the UGL’s initial testing results.

How is @readalot ’s expanded testing going to be verifiable? Periodic spot testing costing $1,000s?

@readalot do you care to explain and share the details of the testing being performed??

Thank you very much for setting up the thread. Yes I can just as soon as I have the proper time. Got a lot going on this week but we should have a proper description of these tests before you get the results. Fantastic work Dirthand. I appreciate you.

Edit: I'll put the list here so everyone can see scope. I'll avoid an essay (haha) for now.

Special thanks to @janoshik for expanding the metals test for no additional charge! Very nice of him.

1. Hplc Purity - 120 usd

1. Hplc Purity - 120 usd
2. GCMS - 170 usd
3. Expanded metals list for standard list price (personally approved by Jano via xxxxxxxxx) - 60 usd
4. endotoxins - 120 usd
5. Residual solvent poor man's test (KF+loss on drying) - 60 usd
6. Shipping 45 usd
7. total - 575 usd

1+2+3+4+sterility (or some subset thereof)

A user interested in spot check would do it same way is demonstrated here in this thread. Although I am concerned about analytical testing capacity in the marketplace. And always good to have two labs give you same result. But I digress.

Reimbursements? The market will have to work that out.

Maybe individuals just repeat a single test, and with some coordination from multiple people you can replicate all of them. Maybe vendors expand their testing credit to cover more tests, which they can afford due to the small premium per vial.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, settle down. You're starting to come across like one of those cliche types that tries to stand in the way of progress.

Yea I gotta pipe down. I’m disturbing the echo chamber and this isn’t a discussion. I realize the questions I’m asking are less important because I’m not blindly running down this same path. I’d like to consider the destination first so I don’t fuck up the route we use to get there.

I’m not standing in the way of progress. If the community is going to support this, these are the things that should be considered.

I’d like to see additional testing where it makes sense. I don’t want this to be remembered as Readalot’s Folly.

Appreciate any and all feedback/criticism to improve this thing.

Hey Bro,
Right now, things are just being discussed, researched, and examined. No one has made or placed anything in concrete. We don't know what all the results are yet... we're all waiting. Some of what you're saying... we're all also saying... "see additional testing where it makes sense." The message is out there, and it's all just being looked at. If everything comes back clean, great. If it doesn't, then we'll know and decide what we need to do.
