Quality Control

Pentacarboxylporphyrin I Dihydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and production applications. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each batch to support your quality assurance and regulatory requirements.

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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment and handled under appropriate conditions to prevent degradation.
