Quality Control

Our Clophen A50 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and material integrity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm its congener profile and purity relevant to its technical grade. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing congener distribution, assay, and relevant physical properties is provided to support your research and compliance needs. We adhere to relevant guidelines for the safe handling and documentation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Due to the persistent nature of PCBs, ensure storage is in compliance with all local and international regulations concerning hazardous materials.
