SureTRACE Program Frequently Asked Questions

The Fisher Scientific SureTRACE program helps you move from research and early-stage drug development to production and manufacturing. When you purchase products featuring the SureTRACE icon , you are guaranteed access to appropriate documents for each lot number, such as certificates of analysis, quality, sterility or conformance, and advance notice of changes impacting products through our Product Change Notification (PCN) service. This quick and easy access to documentation is available to you as soon as your products ship, saving you both time and energy.

Designated SureTRACE products that are part of our offering will provide you with traceability. By this, we mean any products that feature the SureTRACE icon will provide:

• Guaranteed access to associated certificates

• Supplier notifications of changes impacting the quality and supply of products

• Minimal lots per shipment

Look for the SureTRACE icon to easily identify SureTRACE products on our website. Watch our SureTRACE video to find out more.
