Quality Control

Our Desmotroposantonin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity determination, to meet rigorous research-grade specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

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