Quality Control

Our Butrin is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR), assay (HPLC), and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
