Quality Control

Every batch of Heroin-7,8-Oxide is manufactured and handled under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure high purity and identity confirmation, meeting the exacting standards required for research and forensic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

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 in a desiccated environment. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
