Research and Biotech Labs. Collection supplies and specimen handling

Drug testing supplies for research and clinical laboratories.

What research & biotech labs solve with ASC

Reference-standard materials. Documented to the COA.

Analytical labs live on lot integrity. A failed validation run because a reference standard drifted is hours of GC time, days of investigator review, and one more uncomfortable conversation with the QA director. ASC's research-grade materials ship with full COA, NIST-traceable certifications where applicable, and lot retention indefinitely. Substance use in a laboratory setting can compromise research outcomes, lead to workplace hazards, and affect compliance with industry standards, so a robust testing program matters as much for lab staff as for the materials themselves.

Reference-Standard Integrity

Lot-controlled reference materials manufactured to the same purity and concentration specification: run to run, lot to lot, year to year.

Product Documentation

Certificates of Analysis available on request for products that carry them, direct from the manufacturer’s records.

Support Documentation

Instructions for Use and safety data sheets available on request for supported products.

Regulatory Audit Preparedness

FDA, DEA, EPA, and state regulator inspections expect supplier qualification documentation, COAs on file, and lot retention sample availability. ASC ships that packet by default.

How analytical labs use ASC

From method development to audit-day binder.

Reference materials and consumables that survive the analytical workflow, the QA review, and the regulatory inspection.

Method Development

Method scientists qualify reference standards against in-house gravimetric reference. Calibration ranges established.

Validation Runs

Accuracy, precision, LOD/LOQ, selectivity, and stability runs use multi-level QC materials bracketing analytical cutoffs.

Production Analysis

Validated method runs against unknowns. QC controls run with every batch.

Documentation Per GLP

Batch records reference COA, lot number, and supplier qualification. Data archived per 21 CFR Part 11 or GLP retention requirements.

Audit Preparation

FDA, DEA, EPA, ISO 17025 inspector pulls the supplier qualification file. ASC's COA packet, retention samples, and ship records satisfy inspection.

Common questions from lab directors

Are your reference standards NIST-traceable?
Reference standards where a NIST SRM exists are characterized against the SRM and shipped with documented traceability on the COA. Materials without a NIST equivalent are characterized against in-house primary references with documented purity by orthogonal methods (HPLC-UV, NMR, mass-balance). The COA states the reference chain explicitly so your method validation file shows traceability without ambiguity.
How long do you retain lot samples?
ASC retains representative samples of every lot beyond the labeled expiration, consistent with ICH Q1A stability retention guidance for reference standards. If your lab receives a regulatory query on a historical run, we can pull a retention sample and re-test against the original COA. Lot records (manufacturing, QC, ship destination) are retained indefinitely.
Can you provide calibration curves and linearity data?
Multi-level QC controls ship with the certified concentration of each level. Linearity validation is your lab's method-development responsibility; the materials are formulated to bracket SAMHSA / Part 26 / your facility cutoffs at typical analytical ranges (typically 0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x the cutoff, with high-end at 5-10x for upper-LOQ characterization). Custom level configurations are available on contract.
How do you handle DEA Schedule II controlled substance shipments?
Schedule II reference materials require a DEA Form 222 from a DEA-registered analytical laboratory. Ordering process: your lab submits your DEA registration and an executed Form 222, we verify against the DEA database, ship via registered courier with chain-of-custody. Schedule III-V materials require DEA registration but not Form 222. All controlled substance shipments are logged per 21 CFR 1304 recordkeeping requirements.
Do you support GLP analytical labs (21 CFR Part 58)?
Yes. Our COA documentation, lot-retention program, and supplier qualification packet meet the test-article characterization expectations of 21 CFR Part 58 (GLP for nonclinical lab studies). For labs under 21 CFR Part 11 electronic recordkeeping, COAs ship as both signed PDF and structured data, digestible by your LIMS or eQMS without manual re-entry.
How do you ensure lot-to-lot consistency?
Reference standards are manufactured under a master batch record with the same starting materials, the same crystallization or formulation procedure, and the same release specifications across every lot. Each new lot is characterized against the prior lot in a bridging study before release. Your lab's subscription lock-in means you receive product from the same lot family across reorders until a documented changeover is required.
What about cold-chain storage and transport for sensitive materials?
Reference standards requiring refrigerated (2-8°C) or frozen (-20°C / -80°C) storage ship in qualified shipping containers with temperature data loggers. The logger arrives with the shipment so your QA can verify the temperature profile from origin to receiving. For ambient-stable materials, standard ground shipping is the default; the COA explicitly states required storage conditions.
