Quality Control

Our Lithium(1+) Ion 5-Methyl-1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3-Carboxylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible organic solvents.
