Quality Control

Every batch of Fortimicin Ak is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing comprehensive analytical results from techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
