Quality Control

Our Antifreeze Polypeptide 6 is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as peptide content, sequence verification, and purity by HPLC. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or GMP-grade requirements upon request.

Storage

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