Use one catalog record
Maintain a stable internal record for each material, then track individual batches and containers beneath it. This avoids creating inconsistent names for the same material while preserving batch-level detail.
Track status and location
Useful fields include batch, received date, quantity, unit, container count, location, status, document link, and disposition. Status definitions should be clear to everyone using the inventory.
Review inventory routinely
Scheduled reconciliation can identify missing records, misplaced containers, low stock, expired internal review dates, and documentation gaps before they disrupt a research workflow.
References and further reading
Open the original sources and evaluate their methods, limitations, and applicability independently.
