Quality Control

Our Hylan is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity suitable for demanding applications. Each lot is tested against rigorous specifications for parameters including molecular weight distribution, viscosity, endotoxin levels, and sterility where applicable. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) and cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical and medical device applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under desiccated conditions.
