Quality Control

Our Metacycloprodigiosin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with research-grade specifications. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity, well-characterized biochemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) to minimize oxidation and degradation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials.
