Quality Control

Our Pestanal analytical standards are produced under strict quality management systems to guarantee identity, purity, and stability. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the results of multiple orthogonal analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and NMR. We ensure traceability and compliance with relevant pharmacopeial and ISO guidelines for reference materials.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which could affect stability and purity.
