Quality Control

Our Liquiritigenin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and production use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and heavy metals is provided with every shipment.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and potency. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
