Quality Control

Our Actinomycin C is produced and handled under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for research purposes. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and identification. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters and confirming compliance with our internal specifications. For specific pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP), please contact our technical support team.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
