Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and production use. Our standard grade typically meets a purity specification of ≥95% (by HPLC), with options for higher grades (≥98% and ≥99%) available. Identity is confirmed via IR spectroscopy and HPLC comparison against a qualified reference standard. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
