Quality Control

Our Etioporphyrin I Dihydrobromide is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity, suitable for demanding research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and elemental analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all relevant specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
