Quality Control

Our (-)-γ-Elemene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to verify identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing agents and sources of ignition. Due to its sensitivity, prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided.
