How would I detect racemisation in an orforglipron vial without sending it to VendorInvestigate?

Asked 29 Mar 2026Modified 4 months agoViewed 3.5k times

The case in front of me: racemisation · orforglipron · VendorInvestigate.

I can find plenty of assertions about this and almost no reasoning, which is usually a sign that nobody has checked.

Assume no laboratory access beyond what I can pay a third party for.

Which parts of this are load-bearing and which parts are habit?
