how many people do we need before the split is worth it
is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
quick one turnaround has been between 9 days and twice that depending on the queue

powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
in for one

do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
code not name
[edited]update from 7 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
blinded obviously
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
*PeptideMeter not the other one
label the syringe

the split works from about 8 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth
we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see
coordinating this round
Janoshik has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
