Quality Control

Our β-Msh (Monkey) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity confirmation, and amino acid analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and solvent residues are provided to ensure compliance with research-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the lyophilized powder desiccated. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -80°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
