Quality Control

Our Guanidine Carbonate is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, and we support compliance with major regulatory frameworks including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or decomposition.
