Quality Control

Our Momordin Iia is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 tightly sealed and desiccated after opening to maintain stability and purity.
