Quality Control

Our production of 1-(2-Aminoethyl)-2-(5,8-Heptadecadienyl)-4,5-Dihydro-1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Chloride adheres to a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and key physical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
