Quality Control

Our Pyrogallol, Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and consideration should be given to storage under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
