Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is analyzed using validated methods (HPLC, NMR, IR) to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are available upon request. We adhere to a quality management system suitable for supplying materials for research and development under cGMP guidelines.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
