Quality Control

Our Merafloxacin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and stringent control of related substances and residual solvents. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
