Hey Derek, I hope summer has been treating you well. I wanted to circle back with a reminder you have 1 remaining shipment of trace elements set to go out mid October. It will be 24 packs of each level. I wanted to see if you had any updates on the transition. Are you able to share any info on where the testing is going, or if you know yet when you will cease using UTAK QC’s? Any updates are greatly appreciated. Let me know how we can be of support.

Do you know where this testing is being transferred to? If possible we would love to keep supporting whomever is doing the testing. Curious if it may be going to another one of our clients or elsewhere?

I don’t really know what the timeline is, but when we do I will update. That is the point of what I was trying to portray to everyone though, that if we are planning orders out into late 2025 or even 2026 that we need to start looking more on the monthly timeline as of this fall. We do want to try to keep the same lot number if at all possible though. I will collaborate with you as I learn more about, and get updates to, the timeline for when these tests will be impacted. As for right now, it is business as usual.

We have a current standing order for you with bulk shipments scheduled out thru October with inventory already made for this. I think its best to connect real time and figure out what it is you need and if we need to look at trying to return part of your order. There is a link in my signature below you can book a time convenient for you. Just want to make sure both companies are on the same page for the transition.

We do not know as of now when these tests will be transitioning out from our location as this is relatively recent news. These associated tests are expected to be impacted this fall (could take longer, we don’t know yet – business as usual until then). I was informing everyone on the email that we will no longer be ordering in bulk thinking more than 3 months out (of course unless I get an update on the timeline indicating otherwise), and need to bring our ordering cadence and volumes in line with expectations for when we will begin scaling down production. Ie, if we are targeting an August (as an example) date of these tests transitioning out, we need to do the math with a bit of a fudge factor for an order that will get us to that point, rather than continuing with bulk standing orders covering multiple months/seasons at a time. If we are currently ordering in a manner that is in line with the current expectations, then we can proceed as usual. I just want to avoid processing a large order without consideration for if it fits within the scope of the project timeline.

I’m not sure I understood it all. Is your plan to eventually discontinue this testing or otherwise move away from using the UTAK control? Regarding ordering more this is a stock product we keep on hand so there should not be any procurement issues. With the volume you use, I would just say to order 4-6 weeks before you want a new order just to make sure we have that volume available, or can get it made before you need it.

We need to make sure we have inventory to get through at least August of this year at regular sample volume, but we will need to more closely monitor how much we are ordering vs inventory on hand, and what the timeline for this project is updated to being. Andrew, we will work with you on this and providing more up to date information about quantities needed and when. Please let us know if we need to make any other arrangements for payments/procurement, so that Ron can plan accordingly for that part. Thank you.

Since you took the NR level early just wanted to see if you wanted to add any additional shipments or change any of the other ship dates? Your last shipment from this order is in October so we should probably connect around September and get your next order placed to reserve inventory. Let me know if I can be of any support. Normal Range: 24 packs to ship October 15th. This will be your last shipment from this standing order. High Range: 24 packs to ship July 15th. 24 packs to ship October 15th.
