Quality Control

Our Geniposidic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 low-humidity environment to prevent degradation.
