Quality Control

Our Epitalon is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, MS for identity confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with research-grade standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under desiccant if necessary. For long-term storage, consider freezing at -20°C.
