Quality Control

Our Dilithium 1,2-Dihydroxy-1,2-Ethanedisulphonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
