Quality Control

Our Quindoxin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing results from HPLC, IR spectroscopy, and loss on drying tests. While not for human pharmaceutical use, production adheres to cGMP principles where applicable to ensure traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for industrial and research customers.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
