Quality Control

Our Oleandomycin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and pharmaceutical use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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.
