Quality Control

Our Schisanlactone A is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere. The compound is light-sensitive and should be handled under appropriate conditions to prevent degradation. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
