Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We provide material with a typical purity of ≥95% (by HPLC), suitable for research and development purposes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. For specific purity grades (e.g., >98%, >99%) or custom specifications, please contact our technical sales team.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
