Quality Control

Our Defensins are produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as purity (by HPLC), peptide content, and biological activity. We adhere to relevant guidelines for peptide synthesis and can support development projects requiring specific quality documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For extended storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
