No offence but you are approaching this wrong.
Set your pricing and do analysis.
You should be able to analyze something within costs. If you can't accommodate your pricing accordingly.

It's dumb to say oh I might have 4 hormones. Set a price, analyze the vial, do a report in your cost.

So are you suggesting that I should set the price at $22.50 more for every test?
I didn't add any markup for myself for the multiple hormone identification in a blended sample so that the price would remain reasonable.
I would imagine there are far fewer blended samples to be tested; so it makes sense to me to keep the price as low as possible for the majority of tests.

Can you please ask the lab for printed reports right as they come from the machine (you can delete any lab info)?
The report you posted doesn't prove that any actual test was made, might be photoshopped. Wait, not even photoshopped, might be all made in Word or Excel.




A remailer in a third country?

I will ask them. Are you certain that all of these machines print results? Or could it be that they are resulted in the machine and sent to a regular printer.
The lab at my job uses GC/MS for serum samples; and there is no printer on the machine. The results print from a Cannon copier machine.

Doesn't the alternative source for this service require you to actually give a specific list of a few things that the sample may contain?

This lab is only asking if there is more than one compound in the sample; and, if so, to be paid for the additional work performed.

It really doesn't seem that dumb to me.

People at just worried about giving away what's in the bottle to make sure there really getting tested but there is so many blends it would be nearly impossible to know if it was sus or frog juice etc i don't think its so bad to say there 3 things in the bottle considering the other testing we have available but u can't make everyone happy that's just my 2 cents

I don’t see anything wrong with it. When most think blend they assume sustanon, but think of all the different blends there are. As long as you don’t have to state the compound tested there’s no way they could just guess what it is. Maybe you can tell tren apart from the other yes, but even then they still have to test for the ester, so that would confirm that the work was done on there end.

They don't work by telepathy, so they must print reports somehow.

Chromatography machines are always linked to a computer.
All labs have printers.
The computer or printer may not sit right next to the machine, but it must be in the lab somewhere.

Hey nobody likes master.on anyway so don't stress him lol

Sorry master.on but u lost all credibility with me wen u wanted us to post pale bodybuilders for u to beat your meat to

Telemetry?
It will be tomorrow before I will get a reply.
I did look on Agilent's website and found that many of their systems do not include a printer; but offer it as an option.
It seems plausible to me that multiple machines can print from a common printer.

And, yes, the lab at my work does have a printer. It is the Cannon copier that sits adjacent to the analyzers. I go in that lab 4 times each week; and I am certain that there is not another printer for results.

This pricing is asinine. What if i send you a sample of Anavar (for example) and it comes back as an Anavar/Winstrol mix? Are you going to demand that i send you more money before you e-mail the results?

Seriously. Pick a price point and stick to it. Fuck, even Jano isn't this complicated, and he sucks. No offense @janoshik but you do suck. Still love you though.

 

[Roger rabbit]

I would tend to agree with everyone on just having one set price.

So “x” amount gets you the following “x,y,z”

People will see value in knowing that the set price also includes microbial contamination etc.

This also helps you to make it worth your while.

As you wish.
I had no intentions of making things complicated.
I actually did consider myself in the position of a person who would send multiple samples at once. The thought I had was that I would much rather spend the extra money only for the sample that contained extra compounds.
Your hypothetical scenario does make sense though; and I can appreciate the line of thinking because I definitely do not want to be stuck with the bill if there turns out to be more compounds in a sample than are paid for.
I would not refuse to send the results, so I would just have to eat it; and I don't want to do that.

I have actually never been the liaison for any business endeavor; so this is a valuable learning experience. Was just trying to make it as cheap as possible so more people would test.

All hormone and ancillary testing prices will be increased to $140.00.

At least I do something right

It's $60 more for the microbial test.
That would make the total price $202.50 for hormones and ancillaries to cover the possibility of multiple compounds and microbial contamination.

Then I would be making a disproportionate amount on the normal samples.
I didn't have this idea to get rich and I don't think the testing should cost $200 for normal hormone and ancillary testing.

That is why I made the different fees optional.

 

[Weights & Measures]

I guess an evaluation of the community consensus would be most helpful at this point.

Would everyone agree that $200.00 is a fair price for ancillary and hormone testing, including multiple compound analysis and microbial contamination testing? And making that the only testing variation available for those samples?

It’s the Cadillac plan.

This also makes for less confusion.

But..


You can always have two options.

One price for ancillary testing
One test for hormone testing.

This keeps it simple. The more rules or hoops to remember the more room for people sending wrong funds etc.

But then someone would find fault in having to disclose whether a powder sample is hormone or ancillary.
I do completely understand the idea from a simplicity viewpoint, as well as a premium, all inclusive service standpoint.
I just don’t want to discourage people from testing because they think I’m getting an unfair share.

I had this idea of doing something good for a great number of people while padding my pocket modestly.
I honestly didn’t think that trying to make it more affordable would turn into such a pain.

This is good food for thought.
I feel like I need to apologize for the confusion.
I will admit that I am ill prepared for the pricing and profit portion of this.
I do appreciate the input and constructive criticism @MisterSuperGod @Steve84 & @Roger rabbit .

I agree with @rpbb . Take your time to figure it out. As you can see the community is looking forward to a good option to have items tested.

the whole trick to starting any business (ran a couple myself), is to take the time to get organized, budget for your time, make money and most importantly have fun with it. If you're doing this and not making money, and getting all stressed out, what's the point.
