Quality Control

Our Motexafin Lutetium Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research applications. Quality assurance includes analytical testing via techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each batch to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

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