Quality Control

Our Olivomycin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development requirements.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and potency.
