Question 1

Who is the catalogue intended for?

Accepted Answer

The catalogue is intended for laboratories, qualified researchers, research organisations, educational institutions and scientific procurement teams. All materials are presented exclusively for controlled laboratory research and are not for human or veterinary use.

Question 2

How do I locate a certificate of analysis?

Accepted Answer

Use the Certificates of Analysis page to search by product name, batch number, lot number, report reference or testing laboratory. Available documents are listed with their batch association and document status.

Question 3

What is a batch number?

Accepted Answer

A batch number is an internal reference that links a specific production run of a listed material to its associated documentation and analytical records. It allows documentation to be traced to the correct material.

Question 4

What analytical methods may appear on a COA?

Accepted Answer

Reports may reference methods such as HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry). Only methods documented on the associated report are displayed.

Question 5

Why might a document be pending?

Accepted Answer

A document may be marked pending while manufacturing or analytical records are being collected and reviewed for completeness and correct batch association before publication.

Question 6

How can an institution request more information?

Accepted Answer

Institutions can submit an enquiry through the Contact page or the institutional enquiry workflow. Provide organisation details and the specific documentation or catalogue information required.

Question 7

How is product availability displayed?

Accepted Answer

Availability is shown using clear labels: In Stock, Low Stock, Temporarily Unavailable and Documentation Pending. Labels reflect the current administrative status of each listed material.

Question 8

Can a COA be replaced or updated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reports can be superseded when a newer document is uploaded. A revision history is retained so previous versions remain associated with the batch record.

Question 9

How can I report a documentation concern?

Accepted Answer

Documentation concerns can be raised through the Contact page by selecting the COA Support enquiry category. Include the product name, batch number and report reference where possible.
