Quality Control

Our 6-Hydroxyethylguanine is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to cGMP principles where applicable, and each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA). We are committed to meeting the stringent requirements of research and pharmaceutical development, with specifications tailored to client needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
