@Johnson513 my apologies if that came off as insulting in any way. You're a good dude I didn't mean to offend. Your logic makes perfect sense with that. I should have made a video like this to start with. I used a 27g in the video btw about the same.
No I do not have Parkinson's, I trained back only hours before the video. It's difficult to see in the video but the streaks of blue-green running around the base of the vial are much more pronounced in person.
I find that placing the droplets on the sides of the vial like you see in the video here and gently swirling the ampule is the most effective way to watch the reaction play out. Patience grasshopper. If I drop right down to the bottom straight away it doesn't give me as much glow on the initial reaction or across as much surface area. The Test E positive isn't like the tren ace positive, for example, where it just lights up the whole vial.... It's fleeting. The reason why I wanted one drop is like you will see in the video, it gives you a good instant positive. If you use multiple drops it seems to "drown out" the fluorescence on the initial reaction which I'm guessing is from impurities. Just a guess though, like I said. With one drop you get the proper positive almost instantly. You will notice I tap the amps against the table... there are "crystals" or something of that nature in the vial that I'm trying to knock down to the bottom. I actually spent a while longer tapping the vials before I shot the video, I just did it for demonstration purposes. At least in vial B anyways w/ the crystals vial A I'm unsure if there are any but I tap both anyways. This is included in the instructions that come with the testing kit actually, they (crystals) seem to be (judging from observation) what causes the fluorescence to me. Again, just basing this off of observation I'm not 100% sure. I've had many samples light up like crazy at the top of the vial where these "crystals" get stuck in vial B. You still get the positive, but it completely throws off the guessing of concentration and if they are stuck at the top your initial reactions (first few mins) will be way off with things like Test/EQ/Deca particularly. I've been the one brewing and sending off for specs for a while now so things like that don't cross my mind anymore with regards to concentration. I really just LABMAX finished product after labeling to confirm ID these days.
So to re-iterate, problem is I was only thinking about the few minutes for a video to get the positive. I get that people want to use LM to test concentration. In my opinion you just can't do it to any degree of accuracy with impurities in the mix - unless you have bunk of course that will definitely show. To get the whole reaction obviously vial B has to sit for a little while (10-15 mins at least I don't count). That would mean monitoring the vials w/ pics after the initial reaction which I should've included as instruction no doubt. My fault for that guys, it was a pretty big mistake not to take your concentration estimation concerns into consideration and I accept responsibility for it. I used to do the exact same thing before I began homebrewing and testing.
What I used to do was this when testing Test E for concentration. One drop to confirm ID and close it up. Then add another to side of vial gently swirl. Wait 10 mins or so and check with UV while waiting. Add another to side of vial and repeat with some wait time. Usually the 4th drop starts killing the glow.
I've never violently shook an amp before - perhaps that threw off the reaction? I don't know. Did you check vial B after 10-30 mins of sitting by any chance with the UV?
My future involvement here at MESO will be with regards to testing not actively trying to source. I'm VERY interested in 3rd party testing and I will continue to inquire about that.
Again, my apologies if anything came off as offensive Johnson I really do sincerely appreciate the video. I'll pay for your extra wasted LABMAX vials in cash. If you would consider doing the test again that would be great, but you have already completed what I asked so that's entirely up to you.
