Quality Control

Our Agrobactin is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles for laboratory-scale production to meet the exacting standards of the scientific community.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
