Quality Control

Our Lithiumcitratehydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets rigorous specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance in GMP-sensitive applications like pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
