Quality, Storage & Handling
Each lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); QR on the vial links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.
- Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long-term or 2–8 °C short-term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
- After reconstitution: Use neutral, oxygen-poor buffer when possible; aliquot and store at ≤−20 °C; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
- Working solutions: Prepare fresh; minimize exposure to light/alkaline pH to reduce degradation.
Shipping
Ships in validated cold-chain packaging. In-stock orders placed before the daily cutoff dispatch the same day. 2-Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included.
