Quality Control

Our Prodelphinidin T4 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your R&D and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C or as specified on the label or CoA. The material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or light should be avoided to maintain stability and potency.
