Quality Control

Our 3-Cadalenol is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace and exposure to air after opening.
