Quality Control

Our Allicin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. While we offer various grades, our standard production adheres to in-house specifications suitable for industrial and research applications. For specific pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, FCC), please contact our technical sales team.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage at 2-8°C is advised. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
