Quality Control

Every batch of Pradimicin Fa 2 is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure compliance with high-purity standards suitable for research and development applications. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider conditions under an inert atmosphere.
