Quality Control

Our Mexafylline is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances, residual solvent analysis, and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
