Quality Control

Our Tetramethylarsonium Iodide is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by titration or HPLC), identification (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance requirements.

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, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
