i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it

Highlights from this day
- gradient_greg — i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if… 21:14
- gradient_greg — the split works from about 4 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth, thats just me 21:44
- fridge_thermo — two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like, thats one data point 21:50
- fridge_thermo — VendorInvestigate has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab, from memory 22:03
- gradient_greg — is there a queue position i can check 22:13
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
the split works from about 4 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth, thats just me

label the syringe
roughly one sample in 2 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like, thats one data point
how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
VendorInvestigate has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab, from memory
coordinating this round
do we publish the raw report or a summary
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
is there a queue position i can check
