Quality Control

Our Potassiumbis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Dithiocarbamate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
