Quality Control

Our Bio-Vitroceramic Ap40 is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including particle size analysis (PSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and spectroscopy to confirm composition and phase purity. We adhere to relevant ISO standards and support compliance for medical device applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing physical, chemical, and performance specifications is provided with each shipment.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect flow properties and bioactivity.
