Quality Control

Our Nitrosonium Hexachloroantimonate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR spectroscopy, to confirm its identity and potency. We are committed to supply chain transparency and provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications and test results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents.
