Quality Control

Our Collatex Arm Extra is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications, including compliance with relevant monographs from USP-NF, Ph. Eur., and FCC. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, viscosity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance.
