Quality Control

Our 3 3'-Dibutyloxacarbocyanine Iodide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and stored in a desiccated environment away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
