Forskolin Reagent Grade: Warehouse Notes, Labelling and Batch Records

Description

What identifies this batch

Nothing goes on a shelf before the container has been matched with its paperwork.

• CAS registry number 66575-29-9, written on the container and repeated in the stock card.
• Molecular formula C22H34O7, molar mass 410.5 g/mol.
• Declared purity of the offered material: not lower than 99 percent.
• Net quantity one gram, powdered solid, sealed aluminium string pouch.
• Batch identifier plus the number of the certificate that arrived with the delivery.

Where the material belongs in the catalogue

Forskolin is a labdane diterpene isolated from Coleus forskohlii, so it is filed with fine organic reagents rather than with bulk chemistry.

• Shelf group: gram-scale organic reagent, single-container position.
• Separated from strong oxidisers, mineral acids and volatile solvents.
• Never merged with an older pouch of the same name — each delivery keeps its own line in the register.
• Any repackaged portion inherits the parent batch number in brackets.

Conditions inside the cabinet

The label of the supplier states the required temperature range, and that statement outranks any local habit.

• Dry, dark, tightly closed primary packaging; light and moisture are the two everyday threats.
• Container returned to the cabinet immediately after weighing, not left on the bench.
• Warming to room temperature before opening, so that condensation does not settle on cold solid.
• Desiccated secondary box for a pouch that has already been cut open.

Moving the pouch outside the room

Gram quantities travel well, provided the primary pack is never the outer pack.

• Rigid outer carton with cushioning; the pouch must not carry the weight of anything else.
• Shipping documents naming the material, the quantity and the batch, kept outside the sealed pouch.
• Regulatory status confirmed for the destination country before a parcel leaves the store.
• Cold chain arranged only when the supplier declares it — improvised freezing is a risk, not a precaution.

The register and the running balance

A stock card that is filled in later is a stock card that is wrong.

• Date of receipt, supplier, batch, quantity in, person who accepted the parcel.
• Every withdrawal entered at the balance, with the mass actually taken.
• Running balance reconciled against a physical stock-take at fixed intervals.
• Disposal of a residue recorded on the same card that opened the batch.

Reasons to pull a container from circulation

Withdrawal is a bookkeeping decision, not a judgement about the chemistry.

• Label unreadable, torn, or no longer matching the register entry.
• Visible change of colour or caking of a solid that arrived free-flowing.
• Broken seal of unknown origin, or a pouch found outside its assigned position.
• Retest date declared by the supplier passed without a fresh certificate.
