Axio Labs Chief Scientist responds to "water in vials" claims.

"I as the chief scientist of Axio labs went thoroughly over the complaint describing potential of water found in our products of the following batch numbers:

Testaplex50 Batch# TV6R58
TestaplexP 100 Batch#TV7R29
Decaplex 275 Batch# TV7R18
Sustaplex Batch# TV7R12
TestaplexC200 Batch# TV7"
TestaplexE 250 Batch# TV6R97

We have very strict protocols of production. Actually all our procedures follow strict pharmaceutical manufacturing guidelines. We do not spare efforts and investment at any stages of production. Every product, instruments, and analytical tests are monitored three (3) times throughout the entire process.

We are sampling at every stage and we keep those samples for future validation. As in this case we went back and retested EVERTHING possible from raw material to final product of the following batch numbers as well as samples of many other batches.

Testaplex50 Batch# TV6R58
TestaplexP 100 Batch#TV7R29
Decaplex 275 Batch# TV7R18
Sustaplex Batch# TV7R12
TestaplexC200 Batch# TV7"
TestaplexE 250 Batch# TV6R97

For this reason it took some time to respond as we needed all the data necessary to answer these allegations. We insist that there is NO water in our product (and with our HPLC –MS UV detector we need no Carl Fischer titration test…) GMP procedures approved by quality control and assurance deliver the best product possible. The Chromatographic behavior of anabolic steroids using micellar mobile phases is been practiced. Chromatographic procedure for the determination of anabolic steroids fingerprints in pharmaceuticals is a common procedure.

The sample preparation step is simple, since the pharmaceuticals were easily dissolved in the SDS medium. The accompanying compounds were eluted at the head of the chromatogram due to the large eluent strength of the mobile phase. At that phase we could early detect any sign of water. The values found agreed with those declared by the USP and were reproducible.

It is not possible scientifically for this to occur as already stated, we do not use water at any stage of production. All mixing containers are cleaned dried and validated. GMP procedures will not allow any kind of moisture (let alone WATER!).Special “Minisart with hygroscopic properties Are attached to nozzles used for suction and filling.

Carefully selecting the oily media we can insure complete incorporation and precise integration among the raw material(s) and the excipients used to enhance affectivity and decrease side effects. Water inside the solution can not pass any of our analytical tests and the final product is retested before being assigned our batch number.

One can think of many forms that water inside oily saturated solution will be reflected but we found none of those in our parallel testing. Because we are a GMP lab we take very seriously these allegations. As I understand no one else of this batch or any other has found water in the product.

Even as a mistake it could not happen that water may appear in the product since all the raws are anhydrous. We can assure all readers, using our products that you are using superior products which are safe, carefully prepared and effective."
