Quality Control

Our 3,3'-Dipentyloxacarbocyanine Iodide is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopy for identity confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
