Quality Control

Our Phytolaccagenin is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substance analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and in original packaging until use to prevent degradation.
