Quality Control

Our Gelsemicine is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant guidelines for reference standards, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for our clients in the global research community.

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 desiccated environment to prevent degradation.
