Notes on method, documentation and handling
Written for laboratory readers. Nothing here describes what a material does in a biological system, and nothing here is medical guidance.

6 minHow to read a certificate of analysis
What each section of an analytical report actually tells you, and which fields matter when comparing documentation between suppliers.

Documentation
5 minThe documentation standards we hold ourselves to
What we publish, what we deliberately do not publish, and how we handle a batch whose analysis is still in progress.
