Quality Control

Our Lycoctonine is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
