Quality Control

Our Chromic Citrate is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and heavy metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, chromium content, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
