Quality Control

Our 5-Dimethyldithiocarbamylpicolinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity, the product should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and away from incompatible materials.
