Quality Control

Our Karanjol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer material suitable for research and development purposes, with typical purity levels exceeding 95% (HPLC). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment 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 light-sensitive nature and propensity to be easily oxidized, prolonged exposure to light, heat, or air should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
