Quality Control

Our Betulinic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, residual solvent analysis, and heavy metal screening. Certificates of Analysis (COA) compliant with cGMP standards are available for all batches upon request.

Storage

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