Quality Control

Our Lupanine is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR for comprehensive characterization. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications.

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.
