I know you will take this the wrong way, but in the first part I have your security in mind and in the second part quality of the work, which you, according to your claims have no control of.
about $15.30 in my pocket
I honestly mean nothing bad with this, but I assume most of the people here are astonished by the fact, that you risk pissing off literally every agency - DEA (while claiming you have DEA license, lol), FDA, IRS and USPIS by committing multiple felonies on a public forum that is absolutely watched by the authorities, while being in the same country as the said agencies are, for like 150 bucks a month.
I mean I grew up really poor and I wouldn't be that reckless.
And if you are telling us the truth, which I don't believe, you ARE reckless.
Any Waters employee can access the list of their installed systems.
Within hours pretty much anybody can have a list of their QTOF machines in the US. Cross-referencing them with FDA approved laboratories which are also users of Agilent HPLCs is not too hard and yadda. Now we just have to look for the owner with a PhD in med. chem who likes to hunt hogs. Focusing on coasts might be a good idea, as you are supposedly 2200 miles away from the lab.
It is that easy. Less than minute of thinking, less than a few emails.
So in my book you are either stupid and endangering both yourself and the other people, or you've made it up.
So if you are telling the truth, WISEN UP.
I want to make sure this is understood clearly because you seem to be making the same mistake in thinking that I claim to be involved in the actual process of testing.
I do not own any lab testing equipment.
I do not own any reference standards.
I do not perform any analytical testing.
I do not know how to perform any analytical testing testing.
Put as simply as possible:
I just happen to know a guy who knows a guy. Nothing more or less than that; nor have I ever once claimed more than that.
@master.on, while being a lunatic, sometimes hits the spot, though.
He's not talking about you, but rather about the lab.
You cannot test concentration without a standard. To have a standard you have to:
A) purchase one, which would mean the guy who is known by a guy is running at a loss for some person he met once and this also requires DEA license, which would make any fed able to determine the lab doing the black market testing for you within minutes, ultimately probably leading to shutting down of the said laboratory causing huge monetary loss.
B) make a standard, which requires you to purchase/get the raw powders or finished products from illegal suppliers and purify and standardize them. This takes skill and a LOT of time and this is also not a way that legitimate laboratories do that, simply because in the end it costs much more than purchasing legitimate reference standard.
If for example one person per month has GH tested for 225$, the cost of the standard is about 500$.
Reference standard won't last over a month. The lab would be running 275$ in minus.
Can these costs/work be bypassed?
Yes, by estimations or by doing it how Energy Control did it with the few samples sent - if they identify the compound (exceedingly easy and automatic with MS) - they just placed the usual concentration on the 'report.'
The issue is that neither your neither the labs incentives make any sense at all.
If the chemist does it out of the goodness of his heart, why is he insulted by questions? Even a major cunt such as me understands that most people are not really analytical chemistry majors.
