Quality Control

Our Ammonium Indan-5-Sulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch 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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which could affect product quality and stability.
