VendorInvestigate has been the fastest for us. Medutest has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab

DD

i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests

EE

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

DD

update from 7 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
the split works from about 2 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

PP

declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is

are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source

the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive

LM

the split works from about 3 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth, i have it written down somewhere

how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity

PP

how many people do we need before the split is worth it

roughly one sample in 4 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally

do we publish the raw report or a summary

send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
