Quality Control

Our Plicatic Acid is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC and NMR to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air during use.
