lab testing a product

[newmember]

hello everybody,

I am planning a cycle of test and eq. The test i can get from the pharmacy here no problem but i had to order the eq from a guy (friend of a friend....you know). the brand i got, after reading in several forums, seems to be getting extremely varying reviews. some people seem to like it while others hate it, say its fake, underdosed, or that its shit.

i have a few questions if you guys will bear with me:

1) Is it allowed to name the brand?

2) Does fake mean that its underdosed or that its not even eq?

3) If i get it lab tested and it turns out to be eq and dosed the way it says, does that mean its as good as any other eq or is there still a possibility that the quality of the material is inferior compared to other products?

4)does the lab test indicate if there are any other substances in there that could be harmful?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this and any informed feedback would be appreciated.

expensive enough that no one EVER does it. something like several hundred $$$. in addition, most lab testing places will not do analysis on controlled substances.

in looking for a lab I found only one in Utah, and they only communicate through the mail, no email and no phone. I never bothered to contact them, it sounded like a pain in the ass. I wanted to get some of my home brew tested for my own piece of mind.

If you read the rules you will see that NO, you can not mention any lab names in the open forums. THANK YOU for asking before you did it, as most would have just posted the name and got in trouble for it !

Getting your gear tested is not economically feasible as not only is it several hundreds of dollars, it would also require you giving up your gear or some of it and that you wouldn't get back

SRCS is the one in utah and no longer doing these tests.. it was 100.00 for a single ester and had to send atleast 2ml.. we would send an unopened vial for testing.

well, i was a mod and security mod on several boards back in the day.open boards and private. we as in the staff on the board would collect random samples from the sources and have them tested to keep them in check.. we would get some, members would send us some ect. they never know when or what was being tested.
a little quality control.
