Quality Control

Our Pennogenin Tetraglycoside is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (HPLC, LC-MS) to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, related substances, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment, supporting its use in regulated research and development environments.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
