Quality Control

Our Z-D-Homocit-Oh is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity determination, chiral analysis to confirm stereochemical integrity, and identification via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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.
