Quality Control

Our Sorangicin A is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and spectroscopic identification (NMR, MS). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting the specific results for your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to maintain potency. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
