Deletion sequence is not a counterfeitResolved
Good that the article distinguishes a deletion sequence — a synthesis defect — from a counterfeit. They get conflated constantly and the remedies are different. — CounterfeitCato (talk) 10:20, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
The analytical challenge is similar but the cause and the fix are not. Linking to Analytical method validation gives readers the specificity argument. ✓ Done — SPPS_Sorrel (talk) 14:00, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
Declared excipientsDone
The paragraph noting that some lyophilised products legitimately contain excipients is necessary. Without it the article implies any excipient is fraudulent. — BalanceBirdie (talk) 09:45, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
Cryoprotectants and bulking agents are ordinary formulation. The distinction is disclosure and content accounting, which the article now states. ✓ Done — LyophilLena (talk) 13:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
Cake appearance as evidence
"Weak evidence but not worthless" is about right for cake appearance. A few milligrams really does produce almost nothing visible, which surprises people. — BlankVialBo (talk) 11:15, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
It is also affected by freezing rate and shelf temperature, so appearance varies between genuine lots. Worth a clause if anyone wants to add it. — LyophilLena (talk) 14:50, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
