Quality Control

Our 5α-Olean-18-Ene-2α,3α-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
