Quality Control

Our Cecropin Ad is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and development purposes. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity confirmation, and endotoxin testing where applicable. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

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, it is recommended to keep the lyophilized powder desiccated. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
