Quality Control

Our (13α,17α,20S,23R,24S)-21,25-Epoxy-4,4,8-Trimethyl-5α-Cholest-14-Ene-3α,7α,23,24-Tetrol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure high chemical purity and structural identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are provided to support research and regulatory needs.

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 using desiccants.
