Quality Control

Our Averantin is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with key parameters such as assay (HPLC), related substances, and identification. Specifications can be tailored to meet specific research or cGMP requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
