Quality Control

Our Cdta, 1,2-Cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for demanding applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
