Quality Control

Our Saponins are produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical methods including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters are available upon request for every batch shipped.

Storage

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