Quality Control

Our Dihydroagarofuran is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, GC for residual solvents, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific research or cGMP starting material requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
