Quality Control

Our 3-(Carboxymethyl)-8,13,18-Trimethyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,17-Tetrapropanoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key specifications such as assay purity and impurity profiles.

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 sensitivity to light and tendency for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
