Quality Control

Our Cytochrome C(L) is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized to ensure high purity, correct molecular weight, and biological activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), absorbance ratio (A550/A280), and other critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
