Quality Control

Our Basic Blue 99 is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and strength evaluation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, color strength, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
