Quality Control

Our Baeckeol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by HPLC. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support research and commercial projects requiring material that meets stringent quality standards for reference materials and active ingredients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation, especially after the container has been opened. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
