Quality Control

Our Gambogellic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with our stringent in-house specifications. We support cGMP-compliant production for advanced research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area. The compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
