Quality Control

Our Albofungin is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters. We adhere to relevant industry standards for laboratory chemicals to support your R&D and analytical needs.

Storage

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