Quality Control

Our 5α-Ergost-25-Ene-3β,5,6β,12β-Tetrol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under dry, inert conditions at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
