Quality Control

Our Interferon Beta is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch is subjected to a comprehensive battery of analytical tests to ensure identity, purity, potency, and safety, aligning with ICH Q6B guidelines for biotechnological products. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting specifications for purity by HPLC, biological activity (in international units, IU), and endotoxin levels.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized (powder) material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -70°C to -80°C to prevent activity loss. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under controlled, dry conditions.
