Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality is the cornerstone of our operation. Each production batch undergoes comprehensive analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing the test results against our specifications. This transparency ensures that our partners can integrate our materials into their processes with confidence.

Standard packaging consists of 25 kg drums, which are designed to protect the product from moisture and light during transit. However, we offer flexible packaging solutions to accommodate specific customer requirements, including smaller quantities for laboratory use. Proper storage is essential to maintain product integrity. We recommend storing the material in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2-8°C, keeping the container tightly closed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
