Highlights from this day
roughly one sample in 9 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer
anyone want to co-fund a quantity test on a lot i already own
🙏2
chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup
Batch lookup H-2814: 2 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-08-17.
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
*that should say weekly
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control, ill dig out the number
is there a queue position i can check
*Medutest not the other one
whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial, thats just me
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
whats the current turnaround, last one took 7 days

in for one
[edited]update from 13 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, i think
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing, n of 1 obviously
we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see
Verification log updated: WWB — evidence added, status unchanged.
keep half back
what compound should we prioritise for the next round
thats the turnaround
dont send your only vial
