Quality Control

Our 3,8-Diamino-5-Ethyl-6-Methylphenanthridinium Bromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
