Quality Control

Our Ddmab is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for catalytic and synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
