Quality Control

Our Lactoquinomycin A is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity confirmation and structural verification via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and assay results is provided with every shipment.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
