Quality Control

Our 1-Dodecanesulfonic Acid, Hydroxy-, Sodium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
