Quality Control

Our Nor-Desoxycholic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials.
