As an accredited Retinal factory, we enforce strict quality protocols—every batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent efficacy and safety standards.
| Packing | Retinal is supplied in an amber glass vial, 100 mg quantity, sealed for light protection and labeled with hazard and handling instructions. |
| Storage | Retinal should be stored in a tightly sealed, light-resistant container under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, to prevent oxidation. It should be kept at low temperatures, ideally at -20°C or below, to maintain stability. Protect retinal from exposure to air, moisture, and direct light, as these conditions may cause degradation, reducing its effectiveness and purity. |
| Shipping | Retinal is shipped in tightly sealed, light-resistant containers under inert gas to prevent oxidation and degradation. It should be kept cool and protected from light during transportation. Compliance with relevant hazardous material regulations is required, as Retinal is sensitive to air and light and may be classified as a hazardous chemical. |
