Quality Control

Our Butyrylcholine p-Toluenesulfonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and diagnostic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants.
