Quality Control

Our 20-Hydroxy-3-Oxo-5α-Dammar-24-En-21-Oic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting research-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
