Testing your gear??
ad
Is there anyway to test gear for authenticity? I have ordered from the same supplier several times and just gave it a try. Everything I tried seemed to have some results but is there a way to actually test the liquid in the vials. I have heard about how to check the bottles for spelling, label placement, and if vials from the same company have the exact amount of liquid in them but I want to check the actual product to see if its the real deal!! Anyone know how to do that?

All those things you listed to look for are true of pharma grade gear. Most sites on here sell ugl so labels may be crooked or mis-spelled and vials may not be exactly evenly filled.
One way that works is to find out without saying, "hey is this test enanthat?" is to find the molecular weight (AKA molecular mass/molar mass) of the product online, in medical journals, in chemistry books, and places such as that. Next, you want to find a lab that is willing to test unknown samples for a relatively small fee, anywhere from $100 to $1000. You would ask them to test the molecular weight of the compound. There are many labs online that do this and alot of universities and state schools do this too. In fact, some universities even do it for free (very rare). So for example, Test Enanthate has a molecular weight of around 130.1864 so if the results come back and you have a molar mass of 130.1911 or 130.1789 or something relatively close to that number you are pretty safe. I personally don't like to do this just because you are giving an unknown 3rd party a substance that is most likely going to test positive for steroids, and if they test more than just molar mass and find out and start asking questions and such, no good. Basically, buy test prop or test base (no ester), if it all looks ok, take it, and you will pretty much know it is working within a few days. That is not an exact science I know but hey at least your testing out your short esters and seeing if they work. You can also go buy a steroids piss test from walgreens after being on for a bit and see if you piss hot for gear. Doesn't tell you what substance your taking, but it does tell you you're taking something right.
try contacting companies that run tests for athletic contests - http://www.redwoodtoxicology.com/services/steroid_testing.html
Na I cant spend money like that to test this stuff. I was looking for like a home test that wouldn't cost me a lot. I can't throw money like that out unless I was a major body builder. I am just a recreational user!
Daaaamn if you think those HPLC's on ebay are pocket change, you must be part of the 1%!! I'm part of the 99% so those prices are definitely not pocket change to me. Anyways I was looking at them and it seems like you pretty much need to be a chemist to know how to do it! I actually work in Clinical Lab but have never been shown how to test for that, I mostly look at blood for red and white blood cell anomalies.
Not part of the 1%,....but the price of a new one is a couple hundred grand.
Once set up,......they probably pretty much run themselves, they let the college chem kids play with them, pretty much just have to read the operators manual. Hell they even run their own self test program to make sure they are working properly.
Yeah I looked at it, It was talking about places that you can send it to to test it. I am a little sketch on doing that route in the states because of it being a controlled substance. I have heard things like certain ones have a taste to them. I was looking for something like that or maybe boiling points or something I can try at home. So far everything has been good from what I can tell but I would sure hate to inject something that was not legit!!
You can pick up a HPLC machine on ebay for pocket change (compared to the new price) and do it your self at home, let us know if you do homie, you might make a few extra buck on the side.
Either find a SRC you TRUST or go with Pharmagrade bro
I dunno... did you look 4 posts up at the sticky labeled "Getting Gear Tested"
