Quality Control

Our Candicine is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and MS to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

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 should be kept in a desiccated environment. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
