Quality Control

Our Sanguinarine Citrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and stringent control of residual solvents and heavy metals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to ensure compliance with research and pharmaceutical-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
