Quality Control

Our Sporamycin is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
