Quality Control

Our Ginkgolic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and production use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light and air should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
