Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We provide material with a typical purity of ≥97% (by HPLC), with specifications tailored for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral purity are available upon request. Our quality management system supports the needs of customers operating under cGMP and ISO guidelines.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
