Quality Control

Our Pelargonidin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. Our quality commitment aligns with standards relevant for research, nutraceutical, and food-grade 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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to minimize degradation. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to protect from moisture.
