Notes on documentation literacy, laboratory record-keeping and how we work.
Issue 01 — Documentation literacy
FeaturedStart here — every certificate field, explained
What each field records — product, lot, method, specification, result, date and laboratory — and how to check it against the vial in front of you.
How one lot number ties a vial to its batch record, its certificate and your order — and where to find it on each.
“Lyophilized powder” describes the physical state supplied. Here is what that field records, and what it does not.
Where storage conditions appear on the carton and certificate, and why we only repeat what is written there.
A four-point check for when material arrives: product, identifier, lot and a complete document.
How a batch moves from receipt to the catalog: identification, certificate matching, review and publication.
Date received, lot number, condition on arrival, certificate reference — a simple record that keeps every vial traceable.
Every field we publish is one we can document. The rules behind our catalog pages — and what we deliberately leave out.
Also in this issue
Why a result only means something next to the criterion it was tested against.
The terms you will meet on a certificate of analysis, explained without jargon.
