Quality Control

Our 2,3-Diphenyl-5-(p-Tolyl)-2H-Tetrazol-3-Ium is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
