It should be noted that no quality testing whatsoever has been, and is, performed by NCI for any of the samples upon receiving them from their suppliers, which would be a near impossible, and prohibitively expensive, undertaking for a database of this size. Nor is any sample tested when it is shipped from the NCI repository. It is therefore advisable to conduct analyses of the samples as to purity, possible decomposition, etc, before their use in an assay.
