Quality Control

Every batch of Petunidin Chloride is manufactured and analyzed under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including HPLC chromatograms and spectral data (UV-Vis, MS), to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is supplied with each shipment, ensuring full transparency and compliance with research-grade material standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (or as specified on the label). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and opened under controlled conditions to minimize exposure to air and humidity.
