Analytical reports document what was requested, what sample was examined and what the laboratory reported for that sample.
Identify the sample
Read the sample name, batch code and task number before reviewing the result.
Read the requested test
The report should state which analysis was requested. Different methods answer different analytical questions.
Use the reported result
Record the result exactly as printed and keep the original report as the document of record.
Declared content and measured result
Declared content is the amount stated in the product specification. Measured content is the amount reported for the analysed sample. They are related records but should not be presented as the same field.
Purity reporting
Purity should be displayed only when the laboratory report prints a purity result. A content result must not be converted into, or described as, a purity percentage.
Batch-specific evidence
A report supports the batch identified in the record. It should not be treated as permanent evidence for every future batch of a product.
This material documents product identity, supplied format, batch records and analytical reporting. It does not provide medical advice, human-use guidance, dosing, administration, preparation protocols or efficacy claims.
