Quality Control

Our Tegacid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request. We can supply grades compliant with various pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) or food-grade specifications (FCC) based on customer requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
