Quality Control

Our Streptothricin F is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, and tests for residual solvents and moisture to ensure it meets high-grade research standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research requirements.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
