Quality Control

Our Manganese Protoporphyrin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification (UV-Vis, IR), and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a freezer at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
