Quality Control

Our 25-Hydroxysarcosterol is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, making it suitable for demanding research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, NMR), and results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
