Quality Control

Our 4-Sulfothiacalix[4]Arene Sodium Salt is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and elemental analysis. We ensure compliance with relevant research and development standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and specification adherence.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
