Quality Control

Our Androst-5-En-17-One, 3-Hydroxy-7-(Sulfooxy)-, (3Beta,7Alpha)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting research and pharmaceutical-grade standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider conditions of 2-8°C.
