- relabel_watch — quick one PeptideMeter has been the fastest for us. Janoshik has been the most detailed. those are not the same lab 11:36
- relabel_watch — do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt 11:41
- nausea_window — update from 19 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine 11:42
- nausea_window — declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is 11:58
chain of custody in hobby testing is weak and we say so in every writeup
do not send your only vial. that has happened twice and both times it hurt
update from 19 months ago: the blinding process is unchanged and it has held up fine
declare it as an analytical reference sample with a low value. that is what it is
quantity is the test worth paying for. purity is usually fine and fill usually is not
coming back after 25 months, is the submission process the same
who is coordinating this round
are we blinding this one or does the lab know the source
do you want the vial reconstituted or as powder
blinded obviously
i would rather fund one careful quantity test than three purity tests
coordinating this round
a pooled result tells you about the pool. it does not tell you about your vial
while im here how are we splitting the cost this time
powder if you can. reconstituted travels worse and adds a variable we cannot control
send a capped syringe with enough for a rerun. the minimum is never enough if they need to repeat it
whats the failure rate on samples actually arriving
submissions go out blinded. the lab gets a code, not a supplier name. that removes one variable, it is not distrust
do i send a syringe or the whole vial
we have never had a lab mix up a sample. we have had members mix up their own labelling twice
do we publish the raw report or a summary
how do we stop the pool telling us about the pool instead of my vial
publish the raw
whats the current turnaround, last one took 14 days
how much sample does the lab need for purity plus quantity
