Quality Control

Our Abrin is produced and handled under strict quality protocols suitable for research applications. Each batch is characterized to ensure identity and activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, biological activity (where applicable), and other relevant parameters are available upon request to support your research documentation and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under anhydrous conditions. For long-term stability, consider storage at -20°C in aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
