Quality Control

Our Cholest-14-Ene-3,16-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting the specific results for your quality assurance records.

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 tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
