Pooled submissions. Labels off before it ships. Cost split in the pin.

How the room organises its own testing: which compound and which supplier to prioritise, pooling samples to split the cost, stripping labels so the lab does not know the source, how much sample a lab actually needs, declaration wording, turnaround, and the honest limits of hobby chain-of-custody.
Pinned in this channel
Submissions go out blinded. The lab gets a code, not a supplier name. That is not distrust of the lab, it is removing one variable.
Chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup. A pooled result tells you about the pool, not about your vial.
