Quality Control

Ginsenoside Rk3 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and MS for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with research and cGMP-grade material standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
