Quality Control

Our Poly-8-Oxyinosinic Acid is produced and handled under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency suitable for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results, including assay and impurity profiles, is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and meet your compliance needs.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment. For long-term stability, consider storage at -20°C.
