Quality Control

Every batch of 2,17A-Dimethyl-17Beta-Hydroxy-5A-Androst-1-Ene-3-One is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with high-purity standards suitable for research and development use. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), is performed. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and specification adherence.

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 product degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
