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

Highlights from this day
- area_percent — submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust 22:11
- slow.taper — chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup 22:12
- slow.taper — send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it 22:19
- area_percent — sorry to jump in we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice 22:43

coordinating this round

turnaround has been between 19 days and twice that depending on the queue
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
code compound submitted status
R-01 semaglutide 2026-02-14 reported
R-02 tirzepatide 2026-02-14 reported
R-03 retatrutide 2026-02-16 in queue
R-04 reference std 2026-02-16 reportedi would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
genuine question can i add a second lot to the same submission
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt, someone check my working
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
sorry to jump in we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial
*Medutest not the other one
label the syringe
