Quality Control

Our 14-Hydroxymethylcholest-7-Ene-3,15-Diol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry for identity confirmation and purity verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
