Quality Control

Our α-Nicotinamideadeninedinucleotide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and diagnostic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, absorbance ratios (A260/A280), and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
