LABORATORY REFERENCE
Storage & handling essentials
Consistent receiving and storage practices help keep research materials identifiable and traceable throughout a project.
Review the documentation
Read the product-specific storage information, certificate of analysis and relevant safety documentation. Do not assume that a single storage condition applies to all materials.
Record the delivery
Document the batch number, date received, package condition and storage location. Flag any discrepancy for review before the material enters your workflow.
Use material-specific conditions
Follow the supplier’s documented conditions and your institution’s procedures. Ask your quality team to resolve any uncertainty about temperature, light sensitivity or stability.
Maintain traceability
Keep labels legible and inventory records current. Record transfers, use and disposal according to your laboratory’s requirements.
For laboratory reference only. Always follow material-specific documentation and institutional procedures.
