Quality Control

Our Ammonium Urate is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and loss on drying to meet the exacting standards of research and industrial applications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
