Building a plant extract specification sheet? Capture botanical source, marker, assay method, physical fields, COA and packing details first.
Requirements
This B2B template helps buyers prepare supplier questions before comparing botanical extract grades. Keep the material name, source, target marker, assay method, COA fields, sample needs and commercial details in one working file.
Selection Criteria
| Field | Buyer input | Supplier review purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Botanical source, plant part, extract ratio and material name. | Defines the grade before supplier comparison. |
| Marker section | Marker name, assay range and test method. | Keeps COA review tied to the specification. |
| Physical section | Appearance, color, odor, particle size, flow and storage. | Supports sample screening and formulation review. |
| Document section | COA, method note, packing and export file needs. | Helps QA and purchasing review the supplier package. |
| Commercial section | MOQ, packing size, lead time and destination market. | Turns a technical file into a quotation request. |
Practical Recommendation
Use this page as a pre-RFQ worksheet. If the grade is fixed, send the target assay and method first. If the grade is still open, ask the supplier to propose available specification options with representative COA and sample lot details.
Open Grade vs Fixed Specification
| Dimension | Open grade | Fixed specification |
|---|---|---|
| Best use | Early supplier screening and sample comparison. | Strict QA review and quotation. |
| Buyer input | Application, source direction and acceptable marker range. | Exact marker, method, physical fields and document list. |
| Limit | Needs later specification confirmation. | May reduce available supplier options. |

FAQ
Include botanical source, plant part, extract ratio, marker, assay method, physical fields, COA needs, packing and storage direction.
Yes. MOQ, packing, lead time and destination market help the supplier move from technical review to quotation.
Use it as a pre-RFQ worksheet, then send the completed fields to the relevant product page or supplier contact form.
Summary
Before supplier comparison, align material identity, target marker, assay method, specification fields, sample plan, MOQ, packing and destination market. Clear inputs help both sides move from document review to quotation.
