Group testing

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.

Stage 1 of 6

Organizer opens the pool

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.

Your pools

Open pools

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

Telegram bot

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.

Account
/start links the chat to your lab account or creates one; /link attaches an existing website account by email. Same record as the website.
Payment
Never inside the chat. /pay and /join reply with a private Stripe Checkout link. Card details go to Stripe, never to the bot or the lab.
Pools
/pool new opens a pool, /join <code> buys a share. Pool codes and payment links are only ever sent in a private message with the bot, never posted into the group.
Updates
Order and pool status with /status, labels with /label, tracking with /track, certificates with /results. Filled, received and signed-certificate updates post to the group the pool was opened in.

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.

Group pricing

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.

Peptides base panel, from: $189 panel totalWith 8 contributors each share is $26.13.

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.

Fine print

Your share is charged when you join. If the pool has not reached its contributor count by the deadline, every paid share is refunded automatically to the payment method it came from, and nothing ships. The organizer can open a new pool with a smaller count.

Paid shares are what fill a pool; a pool counts as filled the moment its last share is paid, so the order can be placed at once. The trade-off is handled automatically: if the pool misses its deadline, or the organizer cancels it, every share is refunded without anyone asking.

The organizer. When the pool fills the lab places the order and the organizer receives the order number, the prepaid label and a vial label carrying the pool code. The lab receives one sample per pool; destructive add-ons such as endotoxin and sterility need one extra container from the same lot, which the organizer ships alongside. Contributors do not send anything.

Yes. One signed certificate, one public accession number, one record, shared with every contributor. Each contributor receives the link by email and can verify it at any time. The certificate names the organizer as the submitter and the pool code; contributor names are never published.

On this page right after you create or join a pool, under Your pools when you are signed in, and in a private message from the Telegram bot. Codes and payment links are only ever sent in private messages, never posted into a group. Anyone with the code can open a pool at /group-testing#pool/CODE.

It is published like every other result. Group testing does not change what gets published or how. Contributors are refunded under our standard refund terms, for example for a confirmed error of ours that can’t be fixed.

The panel price plus $2.50 per contributor, which covers payment collection and per-contributor notifications. Each share is the panel total divided by the contributor count, rounded up to the cent, plus that fee. There is no organizer fee.

You never pay inside the chat. /pay and /join reply with a private Stripe Checkout link for your share; card details go to Stripe, never to the bot or the lab. Your Telegram account is linked to a lab account (/start or /link) and you can sign in on the website with the same email at any time.

Not yet. Only the Telegram bot @GSAnalytics_bot is live. Any pool can also be opened from this page with its code, so a WhatsApp group can share the join link and every member joins here.

Two to fifty contributors. One sample per pool. Pools stay open 3 to 21 days. No Schedule I–V material; the lab holds no DEA registration.
