Quality Control

Our Oxiracetam is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC and other validated methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
