Quality Control

Our Cacodyl Trichloride is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
