Quality Control

Our Octenidine Hcl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and biocidal applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
