Quality Control

Our Silver Citrate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
