Quality Control

Our Ribonucleic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for parameters such as assay, absorbance ratios (A260/A280), and bioburden are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
