Quality Control

Our Fortimicin Ko1 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via advanced techniques like HPLC and MS, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

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