Quality Control

Our Mercuric Lactate is manufactured under strict quality protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, heavy metal limits, and loss on drying. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of industrial and research customers, ensuring reliable and reproducible performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
