Quality Control

Our (3S,3'S,5R,5'R,6R,6'R)-6,6',7,7'-Tetradehydro-5,5',6,6'-Tetrahydro-3,3',5,5'-Tetrahydroxy-β,β-Carotene is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
