i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing, not advice obviously

Highlights from this day
- customs_owl — two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like, ill dig out the number 17:07
- area_percent — quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not 18:04
- bengaluru_bac — roughly one sample in 9 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally, take that with a pinch of salt 18:52
Batch lookup G-0641: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-05-25.
update on the earlier thing submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
coordinating this round
Medutest has been the fastest for us. Janoshik has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab

count me in
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it
[edited]if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
🔥16🎉12
do i send a syringe or the whole vial
is there a queue position i can check
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
*PeptideMeter not the other one
is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
blinded obviously
roughly one sample in 9 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally, take that with a pinch of salt
🔥3🤝9🎉2
what happens if a submission gets lost in transit
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
do we publish the raw report or a summary
update from 9 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
publish the raw
in for one
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
🎉3
coming back after 12 months, is the submission process the same
update on the earlier thing including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup
code not name
how many people do we need before the split is worth it
