Quality Control

Our Stichoposide is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS for identity confirmation and purity assessment. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting the assay purity, chromatographic profile, and other critical quality attributes. We support compliance with relevant guidelines for reference standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
