Quality Control

Our Androstane,3-Hydroxy- is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
