Ingredient lots are used to track specific batches of ingredients from suppliers, along with lot-specific properties and certificates of analysis (COAs).

Creating Ingredient Lots

1. To create a new ingredient lot, navigate to the Lots page by selecting Inputs/Outputs > Lots.

   

2. From the Lots listing, select “+ Add Lot”.

1. Within the “Add Lot” modal, choose the ingredient for which you are creating the lot from the dropdown menu.

   

2. Name the lot.

   

3. Then, users have the option to use one of two tabs:

   • New Lot Details: Typically used when creating a lot that does not directly correspond to a specific recipe but rather represents a batch of ingredients.

     When entering new lot details, you will be prompted to fill in optional fields, such as:

     • COA File: Upload a file for the Certificate of Analysis (COA).
     • Cost: Enter the cost associated.
     • Customer Label: Upload a file for the customer label.
     • Expiration Date: Specify the expiration date of the lot.
     • Purity: Enter the purity level of the material.
     • SDS File: Upload a file for the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
     • Status: Mark the lot as either "Active" or "Not active”.

   Note: Metadata fields with the “Show for Lots when Blank” setting enabled on the Editing Experiment Metadata page appear in this modal. For information on how to configure lot details, see the Editing Experiment Metadata section below.

   

   • Use as Recipe Lot: Simplifies lot creation by linking the new lot directly to an existing recipe. The recipe details will automatically populate the lot information.

     To use a recipe for lot creation, search through the listing and select the one recipe to be used as the lot.

     

4. Click “Add Lot” to save.

This will bring you to the Ingredient Lot page. From here, you can view and edit Experiment metadata. At the top of the page, the number of recipes using this lot are also displayed.
