Quality Control

Our (4R)-4-[(3R,5R,8R,9S,10S,12R,13R,14S,17R)-3,12-dihydroxy-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl]pentanoic acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for 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 in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
