update from 3 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
#lab-requests 2025-03-23
roughly one sample in 4 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
dont send your only vial
New independent result logged — QSC, lot SG-1177, purity 98.1% (Medutest).
coming back after 11 months, is the submission process the same
follow up two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
can i add a second lot to the same submission
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
how are we splitting the cost this time
queue is posted
PeptideMeter has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab, thats one data point
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
code compound submitted status
R-01 semaglutide 2026-02-14 reported
R-02 tirzepatide 2026-02-14 reported
R-03 retatrutide 2026-02-16 in queue
R-04 reference std 2026-02-16 reporteda code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
thats the turnaround
blinded obviously
add a standard
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
*Janoshik not the other one
