Quality Control

Our (4,6-Dimethyl-m-Phenylenebis(Iminocarbonylmethylene))Bis(Diethylmethyl Ammonium Iodide) is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, potency, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay (by HPLC), residual solvents, and related substances are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance in regulated applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
