Quality Control

Our Ursolic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and purity.
