Quality Control

Our Selenodiacetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including purity assay and impurity profile, to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch, detailing specifications such as identity (IR), assay (HPLC/Titration), and related substances.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle and store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
