Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-10-Methylacridiniumchloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
