Quality Control

Our Verticillin C is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and regulatory documentation 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. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
