Quality Control

Every batch of Lentinan Sulfate is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality control includes comprehensive analytical testing, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as sulfate content, degree of substitution, and polysaccharide purity is provided with each shipment. We support research and GMP-grade requirements with full traceability and documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and prevent clumping. For long-term storage, consider using desiccant packs in secondary containers.
