Quality Control

Our Nocardicin is produced and handled under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), purity assessment by HPLC, and determination of related substances. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results and confirming compliance with agreed specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your research and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 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 inert atmosphere.
