Quality Control

Our 5β-Chol-7-En-12-One is manufactured 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 supplied with a corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA). We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
