Quality Control

Our Anagrade products are manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include identity confirmation, assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
