Quality Control

Our Butirosin A is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and development purposes. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry guidelines to support its use as a reference material.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
