Quality Control

Our Cuprophenyl Blue 3Gl is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot is tested against key parameters including color strength, hue, particle size distribution, and chemical purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
