Quality Control

Our Lithium Citrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles 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, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
