Quality Control

Every batch of Orcokinin is produced and analyzed under stringent conditions to ensure the highest standards of purity and biological activity. Our quality assurance protocol includes comprehensive characterization by HPLC, MS (Mass Spectrometry), and amino acid analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and solvent residues are provided with each shipment to support your research integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider lyophilized powder under inert atmosphere. Allow the vial to warm to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and hydrolysis.
