Quality Control

Our Hachimycin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant guidelines for analytical standards and can support compliance needs for various pharmacopeial monographs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label or COA. This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); therefore, containers should be kept sealed under an inert gas blanket after opening to maintain stability and potency. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
