Batch Number Mapping
To ensure traceability while supporting customer-specific batch numbering:
| Component |
Approach |
| Customer Batch Number |
Customer defines format (e.g., LOT-2024-XXX, CUST-YYMM-NNN) |
| Internal Batch Mapping |
Cross-reference table maintained mapping customer batch numbers to internal production batch records |
| COA Traceability |
COA lists customer batch number; internal batch number available in quality agreement appendix |
| Audit Trail |
Complete traceability from customer batch to raw material lot, synthesis run, and QC release |
| Retain Samples |
Retained under internal batch number; retrievable by customer batch number |
Custom Synthesis Services
For peptides not in the standard catalog:
| Service |
Description |
| Sequence Synthesis |
Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of customer-specified sequences up to ~60 amino acids |
| Modification Chemistry |
N-terminal acetylation, C-terminal amidation, fatty acid conjugation, PEGylation, biotinylation, phosphorylation, cyclization |
| Non-Proteinogenic Amino Acids |
Aib, D-amino acids, N-methyl amino acids, and other unusual amino acid incorporation |
| Salt Form |
Acetate, hydrochloride, TFA, bespoke counterion exchange |
| Purity Grades |
