Quality Control

Our 1-Octyl-5-Mercaptotetrazole Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity and performance, meeting the stringent requirements of industrial and photographic-grade applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
