Our Science
Publishing test results is common. Publishing them against the batch code printed on the container in front of you is not, and the difference is the entire value of the exercise.
Current status
The lookup further down this page is a preview of an interface that is not live. It returns nothing, because there is nothing to return.
A search box that produced invented results, even clearly marked demonstration ones, would be a fabricated record, and a screenshot of it would circulate without the marking. We would rather publish the empty version.
Awaiting publication
We publish no certificates of analysis.
No Pranoraa product has been manufactured, so no batch exists and no laboratory has issued a report against one.
The first will appear here on the day a batch is released and tested, published against the code printed on the container rather than against a sample we selected.

The document
A certificate of analysis is a document issued by a testing laboratory for one specific batch of one specific product. It lists the tests performed, the method used for each, the limit that applies, and the result measured. It is a record, not an endorsement, and it does not say that a product works.
That is a narrower thing than the phrase is usually made to carry, and it is still the most useful document in this industry, because it is the only one a reader can check against the container they bought.
The record
Every group below is marked as awaiting its first batch, and will stay marked that way until a laboratory has issued a report against a real batch code.
Batch lookup
01
Printed alongside the manufacture and expiry dates. The format appears here once the first batch is released — an invented example would be indistinguishable from a real one.
02
The code is the entire query. No account, no email address, nothing collected in exchange.
03
The certificate for the batch in your hand, not a sample selected as typical. A result close to its limit is shown as a figure, not a pass mark.

Nothing to look up yet.
This is where a certificate will appear: the tests performed on your batch, the limit for each, the result measured, the laboratory that measured it and the date of its report. Until a batch has been manufactured and tested, this space stays empty rather than being filled with an example.
The commitment
Most brands that publish testing publish one report. It is often undated, or dated once and left, and it describes a sample the company selected. There is nothing necessarily dishonest in that, and it is also close to unfalsifiable: you cannot check it against the container in your kitchen.
Herbs are agricultural. Two consignments of the same root, from the same region, in different seasons, differ in composition and can differ in contaminant load. One report is a photograph of a single moment presented as a description of the product.
Publishing against a batch code inverts who does the choosing. You choose the batch, by owning it, and we publish what was found in that one. It is a harder commitment to keep, and being harder to keep is the reason it carries any information at all.
It also commits us to publishing unremarkable results, and to recording a batch rejected at testing as a rejection rather than as an absence. We have no rejections to show, for the same reason we have no certificates.
A result you cannot match to the container in your hand is a claim, not a record.
