Quality Control

Our Prodigiosin 25C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, desiccate and keep frozen at -20°C or below. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
