Quality Control

Our Ajugoside is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all specifications and test results. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for research and development applications requiring high-purity phytochemical standards.

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 in a dry environment with minimal exposure to humidity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
