Quality Control

Our Chondromodulin is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and biological activity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), biological potency, and endotoxin levels is provided with every shipment to support your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture uptake. For extended storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
