Quality Control

Our Amarouciaxanthin A is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV-Vis), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and reference standard applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting batch-specific results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep the container in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area.
