Quality Control

Our Biguanide Nitrate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, related substances, residual solvents, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
