Quality Control

Our Diffractic Acid is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and identification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
