Quality Control

Our Medermycin is produced and handled under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
