how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity

👀9

can i add a second lot to the same submission

triple_ag_tom 18:22

update from 9 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine

triple_ag_tom 18:30

keep half back

❤️3🙏2

triple_ag_tom 18:38

declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is

triple_ag_tom 18:58

endotoxin_edlab19:13

count me in

⚠️3📈9❤️3

is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it

LC_MS_Lenalab19:26

what compound should we prioritise for the next round

🧊11❤️18😂6

one_data_point 19:32

do i send a syringe or the whole vial

LC_MS_Lenalab19:43

do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt

endotoxin_edlab19:54

i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests

area_percentlab20:05

i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing

area_percentlab20:16

while im here if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer, happy to be corrected

residual_solvent 20:18

whats the wording on the customs declaration for a sample

triple_ag_tom 20:20

turnaround has been between 24 days and twice that depending on the queue

🤝14

triple_ag_tom 20:32

how long do you keep the retained half of the sample

area_percentlab20:44

who is coordinating this round

residual_solvent 20:56

quick one send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it

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

💀11👀1📉3

follow up including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process

[edited]

one_data_point 21:01

are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source

🔥2🎉1

the split works from about 5 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

triple_ag_tom dont send your only vial

gip_glp_gil 21:05

blinded obviously

triple_ag_tom genuine question is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically

gip_glp_gil 21:06

we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it

❤️5

area_percent who is coordinating this round

gip_glp_gil 21:08

whats the split

for the archive do you want the vial reconstituted or as powder

one_data_point 21:33

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

👀15🙏18

sorry to jump in how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial

*sorry, WWB

blind_submit 21:37

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

two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing

blind_submit 21:47

in for one
