Quality Control

Our (24R)-2β,3β,14-Trihydroxy-5β-Ergost-7-En-6-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider inert atmosphere conditions.
