SIMEC:
the accreditation as:
Testing laboratory for Chemical and Microbiological Analysis of Food, Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Products
So.....I'm confused....how are they not accredited for testing hormones (pharmaceuticals)
I realize they do not specialize in protein analysis (Proteomics)
I get that....but hormones or pharmaceuticals....yes?
I just want to make sure no "shade" is thrown at Millard or AnabolicLab beings they use SIMEC
This lab is a licensed lab......an individual sending in a Tablet, Powder, or Finished Oil is considered "personal testing".
It's just a simple 100-200£ semi-quantitative or quantitative test that SIMEC is more than qualified to test, no?
There's is no accreditation for testing a random sample from an individual other than being a legitimate licensed lab, no?
Also, I realize Bucks frustration with them
After the introduction of AnabolicLab...it seems they were overwhelmed with samples
I believe they were frustrated at times also (but still not an excuse for Bucks issue)
Dr A was no longer available for me
There is no ultimate accreditation to test "everything."
Being accredited for doing one things does not automatically make you accredited for doing another. Even I am accredited for some lab work and providing the results.
1. In private emails SIMEC employees claimed that they ARE accredited for testing AAS and HGH.
2. In the result sheets they provide they don't claim the method is accredited for HGH or AAS nor VALIDATED. Validation is the basic requirement for the data to have some sort of value.
3. When they were confronted by Mr. M96SS about their claims, they quickly reverted to claim that they are not accredited for testing HGH and AAS.
4. In older email to Mr. rAJ they claimed they buy standards from "time to time" and in reponse to bad data they had provided to us they claimed they prepare "fresh standard each time." etc...
Number 2 is easiest to look up, lots of their result sheets floating around.
Testing AAS is easy, except some that might be more problematic than others (looking at you, oxandrolone). However, testing HGH is not hard either, if you have a company worth millions and people educated in the field - and we all know how that turned out. There's literally YEARS of publicly available data of SIMEC screwing up. But what sponsor would complain when their HGH tests as massively overdosed? I've talked to a few and they were aware of SIMEC providing screwed up results for YEARS.
The issue is not whether they are or they are not capable of testing something - it's that they used to claim they have the accreditation for very specific testing when it was suitable for them and it's used as an argument for the quality of their work.
With that I'm implying they and their advocates were routinely misleading, if not straight out lying, in order to get business.
