Quality Control

Our (-)-α-Neoclovene is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (ee) and chemical purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
