Quality Control

Our Cetefloxacin is manufactured and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, identification by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and tests for residual solvents and related substances. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and potency.
