Quality Control

Our Mdat is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substance determination. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
