Quality Control

Our Rac-Falcarinol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques, including HPLC and GC-MS, to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, supporting research and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
