Quality Control

Our Prosubtilisin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters such as purity (by HPLC), enzymatic activity, and moisture content are provided to guarantee consistent performance and reliability for your research and development needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at recommended temperatures (typically 2-8°C or as specified per grade). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under controlled humidity conditions to maintain stability and prevent premature activation or degradation.
