Quality Control

Our Formamidinium Iodide is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, which is critical for sensitive optoelectronic applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
