chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup

send powder

ST

while im here a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement

in for one

the split works from about 3 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

VendorInvestigate has been the fastest for us. Medutest has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab, i think

we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it, someone check my working

coming back to this we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see

powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control

what happens if a submission gets lost in transit
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing

PP

a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial, your mileage will differ

submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust, thats just me

roughly one sample in 6 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
