Quality Control

Every batch of Rhizoxin(S) is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure the highest standards of purity and identity for research applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and spectroscopic identification. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and identification results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, keep desiccated to maintain stability. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
