People are instantly guided to Blackstone on BITOG - fine and good, they are a sponsor. But there is another choice.
And of course we - the folks who have been reading the UOAs posted for the last eight years have seen some very, very strange results here. P levels at 1/2 of what they should be. Ca numbers all over the map. Zn numbers completely wacky. It's funny, more from one lab than another. But that has nothing to do with accreditation - or rather just plain good lab practices, you think??.......I do like it that Blackstone has good listening skills and will gladly recalibrate and repeat the tests - great customer service.
I disagree that the lab makes little difference - I think knowing a lab is repeatable is important. Let's just agree to disagree. I want a lab to get it right the first time, others don't.
