Quality Control

Our α-Rubromycin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets rigorous research-grade standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
