Quality Control

Our 9-Hydroxy-3-Methoxypterocarpin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

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