Quality Control

Our Ec 1.1.1.1 Alcohol Dehydrogenase is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each lot is characterized for critical parameters including specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, protein content, and unit definition are provided with every shipment. We can supply grades suitable for research, diagnostic, or industrial use.

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 reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. For best results, aliquot into working solutions to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
