Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-N,N,N,N',N',N'-Hexamethyl-1,3-Propane Diaminium Di Iodide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, and microbiological data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
