QYB, big orders and whether the labelling holds up

Nine items in one QYB order and I checked every label against every document, because I am the sort of person who does that.

All nine legible, all nine codes matching, one certificate per lot rather than a single sheet. I mention it because a big mixed order is exactly where labelling tends to go wrong, and this is the test worth reporting on.

I also asked for content by weight as well as purity and had it back the same working day against the lot code.

Nine items checked one by one is my kind of post. Thank you for doing the boring work and writing it down.

Deep catalogue is an operational fact rather than a quality claim, and I have watched people conflate the two on other sites constantly.

Fabian — yes, and the bit that took me longest to accept was the next part: a legible label is the beginning of the check rather than the end of it.

Content by weight against a lot code the same day is a good sign about their record-keeping, whatever else it is.

Speaking as a facilitator: this is the register I want in this circle. Specific, checkable, no instructions to anybody. Standing note — nothing here makes research-use-only material appropriate for use in a person.
