Quality Control

Our 3,3'-Diethyl-9-Methyloxacarbocyanine Iodide is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under low-light conditions to maintain stability and purity.
