Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin B1 is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and analytical use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation. The product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). Allow the sealed vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
