Quality Control

Our Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate Triammonium Salt is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biochemical activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and mass spectrometry. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles to support your research and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term stability, store desiccated under an inert atmosphere. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
