Quality Control

Our Virkon is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and efficacy. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing to verify key parameters such as active oxygen content and stability. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is available for every batch upon request, providing full traceability and compliance assurance for your quality protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, moisture-proof container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent caking and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents and organic compounds.
