Quality Control

Our Destomycin A is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for potency and purity, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for veterinary and feed-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and potency.
