Use the verified material-specific record—never a universal temperature assumption.
Capture shipment condition
Record the delivery date and time, package condition, temperature-control indicators when supplied, container count, and any visible discrepancy before materials are moved into storage.
Reconcile identifiers
Compare the packing record, product label, amount, SKU, and batch number. Link the received container to the correct certificate and preserve evidence needed to investigate a mismatch.
Complete the storage transfer
Document the assigned storage location, transfer time, responsible person, and inventory status. Any excursion or damaged package should follow the laboratory's defined deviation process.
References and further reading
Open the original sources and evaluate their methods, limitations, and applicability independently.
