Highlights from this day
- split_the_cost — send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it, take that with a pinch of salt 22:26
- split_the_cost — we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice 22:29
- split_the_cost — quick one the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive 22:34

do i send a syringe or the whole vial
chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup
quick one the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
while im here how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
blinded obviously
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
