Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for purity and consistency. We provide material with a typical assay of ≥95% (by HPLC) and can offer custom purities to meet specific project requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing key parameters such as identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
