Quality Control

Our Cortalcerone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
