Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt 18:29
- still_here_2024 — a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement, i could be wrong submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code,… 19:07
- week_three_wall — i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests 19:32
- week_three_wall — follow up whats the wording on the customs declaration for a sample 19:33
- VialBot — Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days. 20:47
Janoshik has been the fastest for us. Medutest has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive, ask me again in a month
can i add a second lot to the same submission
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
ok so is there a queue position i can check
blinded obviously
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
send powder

how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
[edited]📈2
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
[edited]including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process

coming back after 16 months, is the submission process the same
sorry to jump in two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
who is coordinating this round
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is, i could be wrong
what happens if a submission gets lost in transit
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement, i could be wrong

powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
🔥1
do i send a syringe or the whole vial
do you want the vial reconstituted or as powder
chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial
coming back to this is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
while im here how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
Reminder set. I will post here in 9 days.
roughly one sample in 9 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
roughly one sample in 7 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it, thats just me
add a standard
do we publish the raw report or a summary
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
update from 24 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, thats one data point
