- batch_bandit — first timer here including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process, cut off is when the box seals 21:20
update from 17 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, send the vial you actually used
per sample split
template is short
results go up in full, including the ones nobody wanted, and that has been the rule since the first round, labels off, numbers on
unpaid organiser noises the cost split is per sample, and postage is added to the pot rather than split by weight, send the vial you used
oof, open vial is fine
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
is it worth including a reference standard in the batch, sorry if thats been covered
for anyone joining a round is it worth including a known standard in the batch
[edited]results get posted in full, including the ones that came back exactly as expected, send the vial you actually used
yep, benefit of the doubt
in for two
sorry late, refunded from the pot
dont send your only vial
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is, bill split, not a service
