How many vials from a BCH lot should I send for peptide mapping?

Asked 7 Apr 2026Modified 4 months agoViewed 1.9k times

Details up front: BCH · peptide mapping.

The units are where I keep going wrong, so please be explicit about them.

I have sanity-checked the order of magnitude and it seems right, which is not the same as being right.

How many significant figures are actually justified here?
