Research Sample Documentation Checklist

Keep the material, the report, and your records connected. Fill in what the documentation actually states. Mark missing results as “not reported.”

Date received / reviewed:

Sample label

Record the compound name and other label information. Retain a clear label photo.

Compound / label details
Lot or sample identifier

Record the identifier on the material and compare it with the report. Note any mismatch.

Label identifier / report identifier / match
COA and reported identity

Save the full COA. Record the report ID, issuing laboratory, identity result, and identity method—or “not reported.”

Report ID / laboratory / identity result and method
Reported purity

Copy the result, its stated basis, and the method. Keep chromatographic purity separate from peptide content.

Result / stated basis / method
Reported peptide content

Record measured content or assay, units, and basis if provided. Do not substitute the label amount or purity percentage.

Content or assay / units / basis
Analytical method and context

Record method names or references, relevant conditions, and stated uncertainty or limitations. Keep supporting plots with the report.

Methods / supporting files / limitations
Test and report dates

Record both dates when available. Note an expiration or retest date only when the documentation provides one.

Test date / report date / documented retest date
Record location and storage record

Save the COA, label photo, and receipt together. Record documented sample-storage requirements and the actual storage location.
