Quality Control

Every batch of (25R)-3β,26-Dihydroxy-5α-Furost-20(22)-En-12-One is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 light-sensitive nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
