Title: SARMs
Post by: TimBarrington on April 11, 2017, 05:59:07 PM
Hi,

I have a question relating to how one would go about testing the purity of Selective Androgen Modulator Receptors (e.g. Enobosarm/Ostarine). I am writing an article for a website about these compounds becoming available for purchase from various new websites in Australia and I am going to obtain samples from the various companies to see if people are getting what they pay for. I have tried contacting various lab testing companies but they have been unable to help. Does anyone on here know how these would be tested?

Kind Regards,

Tim

These were originaly manufactured by Merck.  There is probably a reference to a peer-review analytical method.  Off-hand I think HPLC wold work for these sorts of samples.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enobosarm

This is hard for a layman to coordinate.  Labs exist that will gladly test something for you, but they want to be under contract.  If your magazine/website is big, you can afford this, otherwise they wont want to talk to you.
