Quality Control

Our Citric Acid, Lithium Salt is manufactured under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. While available in various grades, specifications typically align with high-purity standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profiles, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccant. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
