Quality Control

Every batch of 17-(1-Hydroxyethyl)-10,13-Dimethyl-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,17-Tetradecahydro-1H-Cyclopenta[A]Phenanthren-3-Ol undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality management system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical intermediate production. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics are provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory documentation.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
