do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt

LM

results are back one odd result in a pool is still one vial. it gets logged with the same caveat as any other, keep half back

ST

update on the current round who is holding the list this round

BB

i keep half of every submission back so that a surprising result can be repeated somewhere else

research use only material is not approved for human use and testing it does not change that, ok ill stop

NW

adding a standard this round results go up in full, including the ones nobody wanted, and that has been the rule since the first round

ST

what happens if a submission gets lost in transit, or have i misread it

BB

if you are new, join a round as a participant before you offer to organise one

NW

box goes friday chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup, nobody here interprets for you

ST

round update a drop address is a favour, not a job. whoever offers gets to set the cut off, labels off before it ships

NW

send the vial you actually used, decants introduce a step nobody can audit later

ST

i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones, full results either way

BB

leftover material goes back to whoever sent it or gets disposed of. it does not get redistributed, labels off, numbers on
