Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and FT-IR to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications are available upon request. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
