Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our products undergo comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis to confirm stereochemical integrity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and optical rotation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
