Quality Control

Our Potassium Dodecahydroclosododecaborate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, anion/cation content, and moisture levels. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
