Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and production use. Our standard grade typically meets a purity specification of ≥97% (HPLC), with options for higher grades available. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 degradation from atmospheric moisture.
