Quality Control

We maintain a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Our products undergo comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity and purity against established specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
