Quality Control

Our Exo-Brevicomin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for sensitive applications. Each lot is analyzed via GC, HPLC, and NMR to confirm identity, isomeric purity, and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage under inert atmosphere, please contact our technical team for specific recommendations.
