Quality Control

Our Pseurotin D is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and other critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under anhydrous conditions to maintain integrity. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
