Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity (typically by GC or HPLC), identity (by IR or NMR), and impurity profiles are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles for manufacturing and quality management.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be amber glass or otherwise opaque.
