Quality Control

Our Collagen is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We offer various grades, including technical, food (FCC), and pharmaceutical (USP/EP) specifications, to meet diverse application needs. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, microbiological limits, and physical parameters, ensuring traceability and compliance with relevant industry standards.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
