Quality Control

Our Copper(2+) Glycerol Phosphate is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and microbiological limits is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
