including a reference standard in the batch is the single best thing we ever added to this process, take that with a pinch of salt

queue is posted
what happens if a submission gets lost in transit
i coordinate the round, collect the codes, and post every result including the dull ones
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial

Digest for the week of 2026-01-09 has been published.
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
do i send a syringe or the whole vial
👍10
send powder
the split works from about 6 people. below that everyone pays more than the test is worth

Janoshik has been the fastest for us. Medutest has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab
keep half back

the queue is posted and updated. if your code is not on it, it did not arrive
two labs on the same lot is a luxury but it is how we learned what inter-lab variance looks like
publish the raw
follow up can i add a second lot to the same submission
for the archive is it worth including a reference standard in the batch
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
ok so whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
a code and a lot number on the syringe in permanent marker. that is the whole labelling requirement
coordinating this round
i keep half the sample back so there is something to send if the first one goes missing
follow up is there a preferred lab for quantity specifically
whats the current turnaround, last one took 8 days
slightly off topic but how many people do we need before the split is worth it
is there a submission going out this month and can i get in on it
