Lot Number
Lot Number — A unique identifier assigned to a specific production batch, enabling traceability from raw materials through final product for quality control.
What Is a Lot Number?
A lot number (batch number) is a unique identifier assigned to a specific production run of peptide. Lot numbers enable traceability from raw materials through synthesis, purification, QC testing, and distribution. Every Certificate of Analysis references the specific lot number, and regulatory recalls are executed by lot.
Context
- Traceability: Links final product to raw materials, equipment, operators, and process conditions
- Consistency: Lot-to-lot variability in purity, NPC, and potency tracked over time
- GMP requirement: Full lot genealogy and documentation mandated by FDA/EMA
