Quality Control

Our 1-β-L-Arabinofuranosylcytosine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and tests for residual solvents and moisture. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specifications and test results to ensure compliance with your research and development requirements.

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