Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and consistency. We adhere to strict in-house specifications, and Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant parameters are available upon request. Our quality system supports development and cGMP-grade production for pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
