Quality Control

Our deuterated compounds are produced under strict quality control protocols to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, which is critical for analytical applications. Each batch is characterized by NMR, MS, and HPLC to confirm structure, deuterium incorporation, and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing assay, isotopic enrichment, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with ISO 17034 guidelines for reference material producers.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
