Highlights from this day
- hair_month_four — a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement 10:36
- salt_bridge — including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process, we shall see 11:17
- lot_number_lou — genuine question who is coordinating this round 11:35
- salt_bridge — is it worth including a reference standard in the batch 12:30
- amylin_amy — for the archive quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not, from memory 12:43
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt

turnaround has been between 10 days and twice that depending on the queue
update from 22 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine, anyway
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it

coordinating this round
coming back after 15 months, is the submission process the same
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process, we shall see
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing, still working it out
dont send your only vial
genuine question who is coordinating this round

in for one
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control, n of 1 obviously
is it worth including a reference standard in the batch

while im here roughly one sample in 9 rounds has gone missing in transit. budget for it emotionally
send powder
