Two to fifty people split the cost of one full panel on one sample. One organizer ships the vial; everyone who chipped in gets the same signed, publicly verifiable certificate and the same chain-of-custody record. Your share is charged now and refunded automatically if the pool does not fill by its deadline.
Select a stage to see what happens and who is notified.
From this page or the Telegram bot (/pool new): pick the compound and add-ons, set the contributor count (2 to 50) and the deadline (3 to 21 days), public or private. The pool gets a code and a join link, and the organizer pays their own share first.
Nothing about the analysis changes. The only differences are who pays, and that contributor names never appear on the record.
Public pools anyone can join. The organizer already holds the sample; you are buying a share of the certificate. Your share is charged now through Stripe Checkout and refunded automatically if the pool does not fill by its deadline.
Loading open pools
Most group buys are already organized in a chat, so the lab runs the same pool system there. Add @GSAnalytics_bot to the group: it opens pools, counts paid shares publicly (names hidden), and posts filled, received, testing and certificate updates. Pool codes and payment links go to each member in a private message, never into the group.
Every share, in a pool or on a single order, is paid through Stripe Checkout: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Klarna or supported cryptocurrency. The bot never sees card details. WhatsApp is not live; a WhatsApp group can share a pool's join link and every member joins on this page.
Same account as the website: sign in at the client portal with the email you linked, and every pool from the bot shows under Your pools here.
Every pool splits one panel equally. Each share is the panel total divided by the contributor count, rounded up to the cent, plus a $2.50 collection fee per person. The more people join, the less each pays; the panel price never changes.
Prices come from the current catalog. The binding quote for a pool is computed by the lab when the pool is created and shown on every pool before you join.
