Quality Control

Our Pilocarpus Jaborandi, Ext. is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for alkaloid content (pilocarpine), heavy metals screening, residual solvent analysis, and microbiological testing. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance 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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
