Quality Control

Our Opiocortin is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including purity determination by HPLC and identity confirmation by mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For long-term stability, store under inert atmosphere.
