Quality Control

Our Gentamicin Sulfate C2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and composition, to ensure it meets stringent specifications suitable for pharmaceutical research. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request.

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.
