Quality Control

Our ε-Muurolene is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and chiral analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
