Quality Control

Our Maslinic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
