Why does my content assay disagree with the label by more than purity would allow?

Asked 19 May 2024Modified 2.2 years agoViewed 22k times

The method section is present, which is unusual enough that I want to make use of it.

I noticed this today and I have not touched anything since, in case the state is diagnostic.

I have not discarded anything yet, so a test is still possible if that is the recommendation.

Is this recoverable, and how would I tell?
