Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is controlled against key parameters including assay, moisture content, and free alkali to guarantee consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, and our quality system supports compliance with relevant frameworks such as ISO and GMP where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
