Quality Control

Our Cortinarin A is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is characterized using a combination of chromatographic (HPLC) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) techniques to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
