Quality Control

Our Galocitabine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC assay, identification by IR and NMR, and stringent control of related substances and residual solvents. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
