Quality Control

Our Sodium Hinokitiol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for high-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with relevant quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
