Quality Control

Our Ranimustine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider conditions under an inert atmosphere.
