Highlights from this day
  • LC_MS_Lena — quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not 19:01
  • LC_MS_Lena — the split works from about 4 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth, not advice obviously 19:04
  • LC_MS_Lena — update from 23 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, your mileage will differ 20:32

slightly off topic but powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control

two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like

whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving

i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing

LM

including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
