Quality Control

Our Strychnine Sulfate, Pentahydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from strong alkalis and incompatible organic solvents.
