Coming back to: Why quantitation is the hard part, not detection
This is a generated summary. It shows the 9 most-liked posts from a topic of 93, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
Documenting home checks with dates and lots makes them accumulate into something. Undocumented ones evaporate and get remembered selectively.
The short answer was in the first line; everything after is the working.

m.ibarra, post #14: Right, and stated more narrowly than I would have dared to state it. Go to post
A home refractometer is not measuring what people hope it is measuring in these preparations, and the readings are dominated by everything other than the peptide.
I would put moderate confidence on the mainstream reading of quantitation and no more. That is not scepticism for its own sake; it is where the sourcing actually stops.

Understood, and I withdraw the assumption I opened with.

The strongest argument against my own position on quantitation, stated as well as I can state it, since nobody else has yet.
Thank you for taking the time. That was more work than a reply usually is.
