Quality Control

Alborixin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with research-grade specifications. Our quality commitment ensures reliable and consistent performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
