Quality Control

Our (Butyl)[2-(Diethylammonio)Ethyl](1-Naphthoyl)Ammonium Hydrogen Citrate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling to ensure consistency and reliability for your critical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a 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, which may affect product stability and performance.
