Quality Control

Our Kendomycin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for critical research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC purity analysis, NMR and MS structural confirmation, and determination of specific optical rotation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. For long-term stability, storage at -20°C is recommended. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
