Purity
The purity displayed in the technical data section of our online product information pages is the minimum content of the active ingredient that any given batch will contain. Minor batch variations, which have no effect on the biological properties of the material, may take place due to manufacturing processes.
Bioactive chemical purity
Tocris bioactive chemicals are of high purity, typically > 99% by HPLC. For purity of an individual product please consult the batch-specific certificate of analysis (CoA).
