Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications including assay (purity) by GC or HPLC, water content (KF), and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
