Quality Control

Every batch of Argiotoxin 636 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results for purity, identity, and impurities are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry, cool place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under desiccant to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
