• Key Concepts: 
  A reserve sample is a sample of a product that is kept in reserve for future testing and analysis. It is used to compare the quality of the product over time and to ensure that the product meets the required standards. The reserve sample is typically taken from the same batch of production as the original sample. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The reserve sample should be taken at the same time as the original sample and stored in a secure location. The reserve sample should be tested periodically to ensure that it meets the required standards. If any changes are detected, corrective action should be taken to ensure that the product meets the required standards. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep track of the reserve sample and its testing results. This can be done by creating a log or database that records all of the information related to the reserve sample, such as when it was taken, when it was tested, and what results were obtained.
