How to read scientific product documentation

Reading a peptide reference material's documentation is a records exercise. The goal is to confirm what was tested, what was reported, and how a third party can verify the result.

1. Confirm the product name and strength on the product page.
2. Note the lot or batch number.
3. Open the COA and match the accession number to the same lot.
4. Check the reported identity status, purity, and appearance.
5. Note the laboratory name and the reported date.
