Quality Control

Our Formocortal is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with relevant pharmacopeial guidelines.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and potency.
