Quality Control

Our 8(2),8(2)-Difluoroprotoporphyrin Dimethyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
