Customers are responsible for reviewing the COA associated with the specific product and batch received. COA availability, reported values, test methods, and specifications may vary by product and batch.
A COA does not change the research-use-only status of any product and must not be interpreted as authorization for human, clinical, therapeutic, or veterinary use.
If you believe a COA does not correspond with the product or batch received, please contact us before using the material.
