Certificate of Analysis

Seen on released reports.

Definition

The released document identifying the sample, the methods run on it, the results with their basis, the dates, the reviewer, and the stated limitations. It is a record about one specific sample.

A COA is not transferable to another vial, batch, or lot because the label matches. It attaches to the sample that was received.
