including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
genuine question is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
whats the split
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it, not advice obviously
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
turnaround has been between 13 days and twice that depending on the queue
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it

i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
thats the turnaround
Medutest has been the fastest for us. Janoshik has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab

in for one
keep half back
queue is posted
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
the split works from about 6 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial, i have it written down somewhere
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
publish the raw
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
[edited]send powder
how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
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 reportedwhats the wording on the customs declaration for a sample
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
blinded obviously
add a standard
how are we splitting the cost this time
[edited]the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
how many people do we need before the split is worth it
code not name
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is

i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
