Quality Control

Our Rhamnolipidbiosurfactant is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant standards for its intended application, whether industrial, cosmetic, or agricultural grade. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing critical parameters such as congener composition, purity, and critical micelle concentration (CMC) are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere if the product is supplied as a purified concentrate.
