Quality Control

Our Ethyl Viologen Diiodide 99 is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the high-purity standard of ≥99% (by HPLC). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and conformity to specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
