Quality Control

Our Ec 2.2.1.1 is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure it meets the rigorous demands of research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing activity units, protein content, and purity is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
