Quality Control

Our 1-Ethyl-2-Heptadecyl-3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Ethyl Sulphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your precise requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
