Quality Control

Our Myricanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and reference standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and test results 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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of opened containers.
