Quality Control

Our Nat 02-677 is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances, and meets relevant specifications for industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

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