Quality Control

Our Fortimicin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
