Quality Control

Our Magnesium Neoheptanoate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. Key parameters such as assay, metal content, and impurity profiles are verified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for our industrial partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
