Janoshik has been the fastest for us. Medutest has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab, from memory

how many people do we need before the split is worth it
do you want the vial reconstituted or as powder
label the syringe
dont send your only vial
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control, we shall see
ok so send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
[edited]do i send a syringe or the whole vial
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 reportedcan i add a second lot to the same submission
whats the wording on the customs declaration for a sample
🧊11👀1💀8
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
publish the raw
how are we splitting the cost this time
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
coordinating this round
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
[edited]do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt, still working it out
queue is posted
is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial
whats the split
Verification log updated: WWB — evidence added, status unchanged.
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice, i have it written down somewhere
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
count me in
👍6
send powder
thats the turnaround
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
who is coordinating this round
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
coming back after 23 months, is the submission process the same
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
❤️5📈13
is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
is there a queue position i can check
anyone want to co-fund a quantity test on a lot i already own
keep half back
Reminder for tyne_tracks: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.
the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
send powder
New independent result logged — SWB, lot B-0329, purity 96.8% (Janoshik).
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it, take that with a pinch of salt
whats the current turnaround, last one took 18 days
the split works from about 3 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process, we shall see
blinded obviously
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones, someone check my working
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
do we publish the raw report or a summary
