Quality Control

Our Terpin is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the required specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing the results of these tests. We can support compliance requirements for various industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality.
