Quality Control

Our Cortolonic Acid 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, and is accompanied by a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA). We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to meet the stringent requirements of our pharmaceutical and research clients.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability.
