Quality Control

Our Dimethoxyapigeninidin, 5,7-(Sh) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
