Quality Control

Our 3,8-Bis(Carboxymethyl)-13,17-Dimethyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,18-Tetrapropanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and elemental analysis, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment.

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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
