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

Highlights from this day
- pbs_pip — declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is 18:36
- pbs_pip — powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control 18:44
- gradient_greg — Janoshik has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab 19:01
- blank_run — quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not, not advice obviously 20:28
- yyz_vial — coming back to this we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it, someone check my working 20:31

follow up is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
while im here turnaround has been between 5 days and twice that depending on the queue
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control

anyone want to co-fund a quantity test on a lot i already own
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
ok so do i send a syringe or the whole vial
Janoshik has been the fastest for us. VendorInvestigate has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
do we publish the raw report or a summary
how long do you keep the retained half of the sample
right so i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
we publish the raw report. summaries hide the thing you needed to see
whats the wording on the customs declaration for a sample
including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process
add a standard
if you want to know about your vial, you have to submit your vial. that is the whole answer, ymmv
update from 5 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not, not advice obviously
coming back to this we do not help with wording beyond that and the mods are strict about it, someone check my working
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
*Janoshik not the other one
genuine question is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
the split works from about 5 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth
queue is posted

i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
