Quality Control

Our Hispidin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D requirements.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize moisture uptake.
