Quality Control

Our Apogossypolic Acid is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming identity, purity, and conformance to specifications.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
