Quality Control

Our Epidermal Growth Factor, Human is produced under stringent conditions to ensure the highest levels of purity and biological activity. Each batch is subjected to a comprehensive battery of analytical tests, including HPLC for purity, SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, and endotoxin testing. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency (ED50), and specification compliance for your quality assurance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C to -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
