the split works from about 6 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

- reta_resting_hr — including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process 16:12
- septum_sal — roughly one sample in 3 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally, take that with a pinch of salt 17:03
- patent_2026 — Medutest has been the fastest for us. PeptideMeter has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab 17:10
- rezept_rolf — if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer 17:42
- spreadsheet_stu — submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust 17:48

[edited]how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
queue is posted
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
code not name
blinded obviously
dont send your only vial

*that should say weekly
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
Medutest has been the fastest for us. PeptideMeter has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
count me in
thats the turnaround
send powder
coordinating this round

quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not

update from 10 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
