Traceability is achieved through a combination of methodologies:
1. Documentation: Keeping detailed records of every process step, including raw materials used, conditions of synthesis, and characterization data. 2. Labeling: Using unique identifiers like barcodes or RFID tags to label samples and products. 3. Data Management Systems: Implementing robust database systems to store and manage the collected data. 4. Compliance Audits: Regular audits to ensure adherence to traceability protocols.
