Quality Control

Our Viscum Album Extract is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure consistent biological activity and chemical profile, with key markers such as lectin and viscotoxin content monitored. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications, test methods (e.g., HPLC, bioassay), and results. Production can adhere to relevant GMP and Pharmaceutical guidelines for investigational materials upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term stability, consider storage under inert atmosphere.
