Quality Control

Our N,n-Dimethyl-n-(2-[Methacryloyl]Ethyl)-n-(1-Octyl)Ammonium Iodide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
