Highlights from this day
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
for the archive who is coordinating this round
Archive lookup: blank_run first appears in this channel on 2025-10-06.

right so how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
keep half back
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
send powder

code not name
add a standard
follow up if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
publish the raw
dont send your only vial
coordinating this round
is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
anyone want to co-fund a quantity test on a lot i already own
do we publish the raw report or a summary
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
*Medutest not the other one
what compound should we prioritise for the next round

do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
whats the current turnaround, last one took 22 days
the split works from about 7 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

for the archive we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see, thats just me
roughly one sample in 6 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
[edited]a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
in for one
whats the split
label the syringe
count me in

two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
is there a queue position i can check
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
Janoshik has been the fastest for us. Janoshik has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
thats the turnaround
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
❤️1👀2📉5
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
while im here we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
queue is posted
update from 8 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing, we shall see
