Quality Control

Our Proflavine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC and spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and research-grade standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to light should be avoided to maintain product stability.
