Quality Control

Our Thiolix is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and titration methods to confirm identity, purity, and absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent evaporation.
