Quality Control

Our Hexahydroubiquinone-4 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for high-value applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, related substances, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C. The material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and light-sensitive (store away from light). Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
