Quality Control

Our Dothistromin is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

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. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
