Quality Control

Our Lucidenic Acid A is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure the highest purity and consistency. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with our stringent specifications. For customers requiring specific pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP reference standards), custom purification and documentation are available.

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 must be kept under dry, inert conditions to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants and an inert atmosphere.
