Quality Control

Our Ethyl-[2-[4-[2-(Ethyl-Dimethyl-Ammonio)Ethoxy]Phenoxy]Ethyl]-Dimethyl-Azanium Diiodide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
