quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not, ill dig out the number

can i add a second lot to the same submission
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it

a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial, we shall see

keep half back
follow up submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust, take that with a pinch of salt
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
turnaround has been between 15 days and twice that depending on the queue
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive, your mileage will differ
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is

label the syringe
quick one i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice

powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control, for what its worth
the split works from about 5 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
whats the split
