Quality Control

Our Aberchrome 540 is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to confirm identity, purity, and photochromic properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its strictly light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
