Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin B1 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, desiccate to maintain stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
