Quality Control

Our Zorbamycin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee 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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere conditions.
