we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice

Highlights from this day
- non_scale_win — powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control 17:08
- factory_direct_fi — what compound should we prioritise for the next round 18:02
- plus_sixteen — who is coordinating this round i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests 18:13
blinded obviously
turnaround has been between 22 days and twice that depending on the queue, ill dig out the number
count me in
dont send your only vial
code compound submitted status
R-01 semaglutide 2026-02-14 reported
R-02 tirzepatide 2026-02-14 reported
R-03 retatrutide 2026-02-16 in queue
R-04 reference std 2026-02-16 reported🤝5⚠️4🙏6
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
send powder
⚠️4🧊8
queue is posted

whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
👍8🔥3👀2
roughly one sample in 7 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
publish the raw
sorry to jump in do you want the vial reconstituted or as powder
whats the split

i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
is there a queue position i can check
is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
keep half back
coming back to this are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
[edited]how many people do we need before the split is worth it
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
code compound submitted status
R-01 semaglutide 2026-02-14 reported

R-03 retatrutide 2026-02-16 in queue
R-04 reference std 2026-02-16 reportedtwo labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it, n of 1 obviously
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is

in for one

update from 22 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
do i send a syringe or the whole vial
🤝1❤️3
the split works from about 9 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth, ymmv
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive

label the syringe
coming back to this how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
genuine question send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
❤️6🤝1📉2
ok so can i add a second lot to the same submission
submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
