Quality Control

Our Antimicrobial Peptide 2, Amaranthus Caudatus is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and biological activity, with testing protocols aligned with industry best practices for peptide APIs. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity (by HPLC), peptide content, and endotoxin levels are available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under dry, inert conditions to prevent degradation. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
