Quality Control

Our Mercury(I) Chlorate is manufactured and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and insoluble matter. Our quality system is designed to meet the exacting standards required for research and specialty chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as combustibles, reducing agents, and acids. Due to its nature as an oxidizer and being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it should be kept separate from organic materials and moisture. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
