Quality Control

Our Isopentyl β-D-Glucuronide is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
