Quality Control

Our 4-(N,n-Dimethyl-n-Tetradecylammonium)Methyl-(7-Hydroxycoumarin) Chloride is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using inert gas purging.
