Quality Control

Our Resilin is sourced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity for research applications. Quality is verified through analytical techniques appropriate for protein characterization. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, source, and handling is provided with each shipment to support your research and development documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at recommended temperatures of -20°C or below for long-term stability, as it is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
