Quality Control

Our Hex-Fucoxanthin, 19'-(Sh) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, UV-Vis), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizers and heat sources.
