Quality Control

Our Lectin I, Laburnum Alpinum is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot is subjected to rigorous quality testing, including activity assays (e.g., hemagglutination) and purity analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, activity, and safety data is provided with every shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For extended storage, consider aliquoting and freezing at -20°C or below.
