Quality Control

Our Aroclor 2565 is produced and handled with strict adherence to quality protocols. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, congener distribution profile, and purity against established standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing congener-specific chromatographic data are available upon request to ensure compliance with your research or industrial specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Due to the persistent nature of PCBs, ensure containers are clearly labeled and managed according to all local and international environmental regulations.
