Lot Traceability Receiving Checklist
Updated 2026-07-24 · 4 min read
Lot traceability starts at receiving: confirm SKU and lot on the label, match the COA, file paperwork with inventory, and flag mismatches before use in research workflows.
At the loading dock
Compare the packing slip, vial label, and order confirmation. Note temperature packaging if cold chain applies.
Do not assume documentation ships inside the box for every SKU — check the product page documentation status and COA Library.
Three-way match
Order line item → physical label → COA lot number. If any leg fails, quarantine the material until documentation is resolved.
Photograph or scan labels when your QA program requires immutable receiving records.
File with intent
Store COAs where your team can retrieve them by lot during audits. Link internal inventory IDs to supplier lot numbers in your LIMS or spreadsheet.
