Highlights from this day
  • lipase_lore — submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust 11:57
  • tenpence — do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt 12:21
  • tenpence — coming back to this i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests 12:22
  • tenpence — including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process 12:55
  • dez_domains — i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones 14:02

follow up whats the current turnaround, last one took 6 days

follow up the split works from about 2 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity

submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust

how long do you keep the retained half of the sample

update from 13 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine

do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt

anyone want to co-fund a quantity test on a lot i already own

roughly one sample in 7 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally

coordinating this round

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