Quality Control

Our Roseofungin is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with testing typically including identification, assay, and impurity profile determination via HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or development requirements.

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 using desiccants.
