Quality Control

Our 16β,22-Dihydroxyhopan-23-Oic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and loss on drying. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
