Quality Control

Our Methyl 7,15-Dihydroxydehydroabietate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which include data from chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. For research and development purposes, we can supply material meeting custom purity specifications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
