Quality Control

Our Methyl Lentinan is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 low-humidity environment to prevent degradation.
