Quality Control

Our Loliolide is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic methods to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
