Quality Control

Our Taurosteine is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, chiral purity analysis, and residual solvent screening. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment. We can support development projects with custom purity grades, including research and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials.
