Quality Control

Our Lumiflavine is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and loss on drying. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications. Our quality systems are designed to support GMP and ISO-guided applications where required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, handling should be conducted under subdued light or amber glass when prolonged exposure is expected.
