the cut off is when the box is sealed

submission question a round takes about three weeks from list closing to results in practice, keep half back

the cut off is when the box is sealed, and the box gets sealed on the day that was announced, not a service, a bill split

numbering is ours, not the labs. we hand over numbered tubes and a list of what to run, research use only, not approved for human use

the template is short: compound, claimed strength, lot, purchase month, and what you want run

numbers are in update from 12 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, send the vial you actually used

the organiser knows whose is whose. that is not blind and the write up should say so, blind to the lab, not to us

admin post, sorry postage goes in the pot and gets split per sample, which is the only split that has ever not caused an argument

results get posted in full, including the ones that came back exactly as expected, that is how the last round ran

roughly one sample in 4 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally, that is how the last round ran
