Quality Control

We maintain a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our standard grade typically meets a purity specification of ≥97% (by HPLC), with options for higher grades available. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We can support development projects by providing material that aligns with ICH guidelines for impurities.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
