Quality Control

Our Sodium Cholate Hydrate, Biochemika grade is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive biochemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity (assay), and specific tests are available upon request. While not certified, the quality is suitable for use in research and development under ISO-guided laboratory practices.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
