Quality Control

Our 2,3-Dihydroxyetiochlorin is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under conditions that minimize exposure to ambient light and humidity to maintain stability and purity.
