Quality Control

Our 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octaethyl-21H,23H-Porphine Iron(Iii) Chloride is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including spectroscopic and chromatographic methods, to verify identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results 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 place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and stored in a dark environment to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
