Quality Control

Our Ophiopogonanone C is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and analytical applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identification tests, and impurity profiles 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
