Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We provide material with a typical purity of ≥95% (by HPLC), suitable for research and development purposes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. For specific pharmacopeial (USP/EP) or custom grade requirements, please contact our technical sales team.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its properties of being easily oxidized, long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended for optimal stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
