Quality Control

Our 16β,23-Epoxy-3β-Hydroxy-5α-Cholestane-6,24-Dione is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
