Quality Control

Our 3-Oh-I-20:0 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and GC-MS for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment.

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 sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
