Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer-specific requirements. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full transparency on batch-specific results. Our quality management system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for reliable supply to regulated markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
