Quality Control

Our Barosma Betulina Extract is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to verify identity, purity, and potency, ensuring it meets the specifications agreed upon with our clients. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) that detail all test results, including assay by HPLC for key marker compounds. Our quality protocols are designed to support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and relevant pharmacopoeial standards (such as USP-NF for botanical extracts) where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; therefore, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
