Quality Control

Our Phosphorylase A is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and consistent enzymatic activity. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing, including activity assays and purity assessments, to meet the stringent requirements of research and diagnostic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, purity, and stability are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect activity. For short-term use, aliquots may be stored at 2-8°C.
