Quality Control

Our Prodigiosan is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and biological activity. Each lot is characterized for key parameters including polysaccharide content and endotoxin activity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and biological potency is provided with every shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive (store away from light); ensure the container is sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
