Quality Control

Our Phenanthridinium, 3,8-Diamino-5-Ethyl-6-Methyl- is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

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 nature, the container must be kept sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
