Quality Control

Our Bactenecin is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for critical research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination, mass spectrometry (MS) for identity confirmation, and endotoxin testing. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider desiccant or under an inert atmosphere. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
