Quality Control

Our S-Petasin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
