Quality Control

Our 6-o-Acetylmexicanin I is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and identity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider storing under inert atmosphere at lower temperatures (e.g., -20°C) to ensure optimal stability.
