Quality Control

Our C60 Derivatives are produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, which may include techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and Mass Spectrometry, to confirm identity, purity, and the degree of functionalization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive.
