Quality Control

Our Subtilin Precursor is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability for research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
