Quality Control

Our Gossypolone is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substance analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
