Quality Control

Our Ca(Fod)2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including NMR, elemental analysis (CHN), and HPLC, to verify identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with our stringent specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for critical applications.

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 in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
