Quality Control

Our Mannofucogalactan is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, with specifications tailored to meet the requirements of pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting parameters such as carbohydrate profile, sulfate content, moisture, and microbial limits is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
