Quality Control

Our 3,5-Diamino-6-Chloropicolinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, maintain at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) under dry, inert conditions to preserve stability and prevent degradation.
