Quality Control

Our 23-S-Hydroxydiosgenin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with specified standards. We support cGMP requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates and can provide documentation to meet rigorous audit trails.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
