Evidence that matches the material.
A procurement guide to requesting and reviewing identity, analytical and batch information. This page does not publish product certificates or laboratory results.
Begin with the batch reference.
Check that the quoted material, packaging label and documents refer to the same identity and batch. Ask which records can be shared before ordering and which will be issued with a shipment.
A reported value needs context.
A purity percentage alone does not describe the method, conditions or suitability for a particular experiment. Review the analytical information against your laboratory’s own acceptance criteria.
