Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our standard grade typically meets a purity specification of ≥97% (by HPLC), with detailed impurity profiling available. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, documenting identity, assay, and relevant physical parameters. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable and can support development projects requiring research or custom synthesis grades.

Storage

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