Quality Control

Our 12:0 Epc (Cl Salt) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
