Quality Control

Our 15,17-Dihydroxyprogesterone is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical intermediates. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents. We support compliance with cGMP and other relevant regulatory frameworks for research and pharmaceutical use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
