Quality Control

Every batch of our deuterated chemicals is produced and analyzed under strict quality management to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Standard quality control includes verification by NMR, HPLC, and Mass Spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity, and analytical spectra is provided with each shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
