Quality Control

Our Mercuric Oxycyanide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity and assay, with trace metal impurities monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
