Quality Control

Our Ammonium Fluoroacetate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and identification by FT-IR, to ensure high purity and chemical identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO 9001 standards for consistent quality assurance.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong alkalis and incompatible materials.
