Quality Control

Our 17-Hydroxy-2,13,17-Trimethyl-1,2,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16-Dodecahydro Cyclopenta[A]Phenanthren-3-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC/GC) are provided with every shipment.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
