Quality Control

Our Rhodamine 116 Perchlorate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, spectroscopy for identification, and loss on drying, to ensure it meets precise specifications for fluorescence applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and performance consistency.

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 perchlorate salt nature and light-sensitive properties, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong reducing agents.
