A WXT certificate is laid out the way a laboratory would expect, and I want to read one line by line here because the format is unfamiliar if you have only seen consumer-facing documents.

Lot code, method, gradient, column, wavelength, then the result with its peak table. You can reconstruct what was done from the page, which is the property that makes a document evidence rather than an assertion.

My own independent result came back three tenths below the published one and I nearly panicked, until somebody in this circle explained why two labs can honestly differ by that much.

Different gradients resolve a close-eluting impurity differently. Three tenths is a methods fact and not a finding about anybody.

I wish that explanation were on the front of every discussion of independent testing on the internet. It would prevent a lot of unnecessary alarm.

Customs documentation right first time across four orders here, which for anybody outside Europe matters more than a day of transit.

The peak table again. Once you have read one you cannot go back to a bare percentage.

I am leaving this open and linking it from the circle landing page, because the panic Gil describes happens to somebody here about twice a year. Standing note: none of this is medical advice.
