Compare chemical profiles without losing the details

Put the sample information beside the chemistry before drawing a comparison.

Build a pair of sample records

Choose the two reports you want to compare and record their identifiers. Keep each report intact. Copying a headline number into a note is convenient, but it can hide the qualifiers that made the original result meaningful.

Match the fields

Use the same compound names and units in both columns. Leave a blank when a report does not list a compound. Do not reorder the evidence around a product name you already prefer.

Ask a narrower question

Instead of asking whether two strains are the same, ask which measured compounds appear on both reports and how the reported results differ. That is a question the records may actually answer.

The result is a comparison of the supplied sample records. It should not silently become a claim about every product sold under either strain name.
