Quality Control

Our 2,2-Dimethyl-5α-Cholest-8(14)-En-3β-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and spectroscopic data are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and reliability for your critical applications.

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 using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
