Quality Control

Our Cintramide is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to confirm identity and meet stringent impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 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.
