Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards and batch-to-batch consistency. Quality assurance protocols include verification of identity, purity, and metal content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request for every batch shipped.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
