Quality Control

Every batch of 3,8-Bis(Carboxymethyl)-13,18-Dimethyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,17-Tetrapropanoic Acid is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for high-purity chemical intermediates. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

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 sealed under dry, inert conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
