Quality Control

Our 10-Oxocodeine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or moisture should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
