Quality Control

Our o-Dodecyl Hydrogen Dithiocarbonate, Potassium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
