Quality Control

Our 3,7,8,12,13,17-Hexahydro-2,2,7,7,12,12,17,17-Octamethyl-2H,21H-Porphyrin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting research and industrial standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
