Quality Control

Our Deuteroporphyrin Ix Dihydrochloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high chemical purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic identification. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry 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. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
