Testing & Quality
FROM CLAIM TO RECORD
Transparency at the batch level.
A compound name starts the conversation. Documentation provides the context.
Testing documentation may vary by compound, dosage form, supplier, and lot. Only available, verified lot-specific documentation is displayed with the applicable research product. No lot reports have been supplied for the current inventory.
Identity
Identity testing asks whether the material matches the named compound. The method and source report matter; a product label alone does not prove identity.
Assay & potency
An assay measures the amount of an analyte under the stated method. It is different from a purity percentage, and the units and specification must be visible in the source report.
Purity
A purity result describes the measurement made by a particular analytical method. It does not, by itself, establish sterility, absence of endotoxin, or suitability for human use.
Sterility
Where applicable, read the actual sterility test report and its method. Do not infer a passing result from packaging, a vial, or a general purity statement.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin testing is separate from sterility testing. A published result must state what was measured; missing documentation is shown as missing.
Lot traceability
The SKU identifies the inventory format. The lot identifies a particular batch. Match the label, product, and lot before relying on a report.
Read a COA with context
- Match the exact product, format, and lot number.
- Check the laboratory, test date, methods, units, and specifications.
- Distinguish measured results from specifications or supplier statements.
- Review the original PDF rather than relying only on a summary.
Storage and supplier documents
Storage conditions and expiration or beyond-use dates must come from verified documentation for the actual material. We do not assign universal storage rules or make up a shelf life.
Supplier paperwork is retained with the lot record. Public summaries do not replace the underlying report, and not every supplier statement represents independent laboratory testing.
