Quality Control

Our Pseudo Codeine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via advanced techniques like HPLC and NMR to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with the specified analytical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
