Design of experiments when using commercial samples

Hi!

Is there a way to do some version of DOE when relying on commercially available samples?

Since the samples should be purchased from local shops, it is not possible to make a DOE around the production processes, but maybe I could still use DOE to get an idea about how many samples are relevant to include etc.? 

Has anyone experience with that?

Thank you so much!

Re: Design of experiments when using commercial samples

My first reaction is what do you mean by DOE?  Are you asking can you evaluate the variation from commercial samples?  The answer is yes.  More likely this is directed sampling rather than specifically manipulating factors in an experiment.  Could you provide a more specific example of what you are talking about?
