Quality Control

Our Altromycin D is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS), and residual solvent analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with in-house specifications. We support research and development with materials suitable for use as analytical standards.

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 light-sensitive; ensure containers are sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light. For long-term storage, consider desiccants and inert atmosphere.
