Quality Control

Our Zooxanthellatoxin B is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and integrity for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity assessment and structural confirmation via NMR and MS. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and analytical data is provided with every shipment to support your compliance and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For long-term storage, consider desiccant use.
