Quality Control

Our 5Alpha-Androstan-3Alpha,16Alpha,17Alpha-Triol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and specification 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
