Quality Control

Our Pyrrolizidine-7α-Acetic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting R&D and production standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture.
