Quality Control

Our Methionylprolactin is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assessment by HPLC and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

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