Quality Control

Our 24,28-Dihydroobtusifoliol is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles for research-grade chemicals, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This compound is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
