Quality Control

Every batch of Candidin B is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system to ensure identity, purity, and potency. Our products undergo comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay determination and related substance profiling. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA), providing batch-specific results, is supplied with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature, 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). For long-term storage, consider aliquoting under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to maintain stability.
