Quality Control

Every batch of 13,20-Epoxy-1β,11β,12α,14-Tetrahydroxypicras-3-Ene-2,16-Dione is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation, including HPLC chromatograms and full spectral data (NMR, MS), to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is supplied with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or quality protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under inert atmosphere or in a desiccated environment at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent degradation.
