Quality Control

Our (±)-Scoulerine is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS for verification. While supplied as a high-purity research chemical, specifications can be tailored to meet specific project needs upon request.

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 dry environment and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
