Quality Control

Our Fungichromin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics 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 (typically 15-25°C). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept sealed in a dry environment to maintain stability and potency.
