Quality Control

Our Picroside IV is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
