Quality Control

Our Iron Sorbitex is manufactured under strict quality systems suitable for pharmaceutical applications. It undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, potency, and safety, aligning with pharmacopeial standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as iron content, heavy metals, and sterility testing (where applicable) is provided with each batch to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container headspace should be minimized or maintained under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
