Quality Control

Our Cytidylyl-(3'->5')-Cytidine is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Quality is verified through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing at -20°C under inert atmosphere.
