Quality Control

Our Dideoxyadenosine (Dda) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
