Quality Control

Our Maleimycin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity determination and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
