Question

Can you tell me if your product is in clear glass or amber vials?

Answer

We have some inventory of Xestospongin C in clear glass. We are currently in the process of changing from clear glass vials to amber vials for this product. Supplying Xestospongin C in amber vials is a precautionary measure as it appears that Xestospongin C’s sensitivity to light is based on long term studies (6+ months of exposure to direct light). Since the product is intended to be kept at – 20 C for long term storage primarily it will be in the freezer where it is dark, the customer could shield the vial from light when it is outside of the freezer if it is in a clear vial.
