Quality Control

Our Leucocyanidin Polymer is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, residual solvents, and heavy metals are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize moisture uptake.
