QUALITY DOCUMENTATION
Quality, COA and batch traceability
Clear documentation helps veterinarians and purchasers understand what is being supplied and which information belongs to a specific batch.
What a Certificate of Analysis can show
- Product or material identification
- Batch or lot number
- Test methods and reported results
- Purity or assay result where applicable
- Testing date and document authorization
A COA is batch-specific
A generic specification is not the same as a Certificate of Analysis for the actual batch. Buyers should be able to match the lot information on the supplied product with the associated record.
Quality review beyond one number
A purity percentage alone does not establish identity, sterility, suitability, stability or clinical effectiveness. The relevant quality information depends on product format and intended handling.
Information confirmed before an order
- Product format and packaging
- Available batch documentation
- Storage and transport requirements
- Destination and purchaser eligibility
- Post-delivery support channel
