Quality Control

Our Kaur-16-Ene-2β,13-Diol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are available upon request.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability.
