Quality Control

Our Iron Triricinoleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. While produced to technical grade standards, specifications can be adjusted to meet specific customer requirements for research or industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and incompatible materials.
