01 / Overview
Traceability starts on the label
Lot numbers connect a physical vial to the analytical file. Without that key, purity figures and PDFs cannot be verified against a specific unit.
FLASK files third-party reports under the lot. Verification and the batch ledger use the same testing-record source.
Normalize the printed lot (remove non-alphanumeric characters, uppercase) and match exactly — no fuzzy lookup.
