Quality Control

Our Actilane 18 is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous internal specifications, with analysis typically including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full test results are available upon request.

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). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and sources of ignition. Due to its light-sensitive nature and reactivity, prolonged exposure to light or heat should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
