Quality Control

Our Sodium Cacodylate 97+ is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standard of 97% minimum assay and is free from significant impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
