Solvent Usage & Replacement Policy

At Harfi, research integrity depends on controlled conditions. The stability, performance, and appearance of lyophilized materials are directly influenced by solvent composition and handling.

Research Integrity & Standards

Improper solvent composition can mimic degradation or instability. Non-compliant solvents introduce variability and may compromise research outcomes. All solvents, including Bacteriostatic water, must comply with USP <1231> standards:

pH Level4.0 – 7.0
Benzyl Alcohol0.9% (w/v) ± 0.1%

Solvents should be used within 30–45 days after first use and stored under controlled conditions. Failure to meet these standards may significantly affect structural consistency.

Common Solvent-Related Issues

Variability observed during reconstitution is often caused by solvent conditions and may be misinterpreted as compound instability. Improper or degraded solvents may result in:

  • Turbidity Solution cloudiness due to contamination or imbalance.

  • Gelation Clumping caused by incorrect solvent polarity.

  • Particulates Visible particles during or after dissolution.

  • Incomplete Solubility Inconsistent dissolution behavior.

  • Apparent Instability Effects caused by solvent conditions, not product defect.

Support Eligibility Review

Harfi provides review for product concerns only when reconstitution conditions are verifiable and compliant.

Not Eligible

  • Use of non-compliant or unverified solvents
  • Aftermarket or off-spec bacteriostatic water
  • Solvents opened beyond recommended usage period (30–45 days)
  • Expired or improperly stored solvents
  • Improper handling or environmental exposure
Required Documentation

To qualify for review, the following must be provided. Failure to provide required documentation will result in denial of review.

  • Clear photographic evidence of the reconstitution setup (compound and solvent visible together).
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the solvent used (not required for Harfi-approved solvents).

Ongoing Solvent Evaluation

Harfi continuously evaluates solvent quality across available sources. Not all commercially available solvents meet required standards. Solvent quality remains a critical variable in research consistency.

Purchaser Responsibility & Agreement

By placing an order, the purchaser acknowledges:

  • Solvent selection and usage are outside Harfi’s control.
  • Harfi is not liable for variability, instability, or loss of usability resulting from non-compliant solvent composition or improper handling/storage.
  • Products affected by solvent-related conditions are not eligible for replacement or refund.
