Quality Control

Our Trichomycin A is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, microbial limits testing, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your quality 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
