Quality Control

Our 1,5-Dihydro-3-(3-Sulfopropyl)Lumiflavin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, ensuring compliance with research-grade specifications and consistent performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under subdued light to maintain stability and purity.
