Test methods are shown only where the documents we hold state them. A dash means the document does not name a method.

The molecular formula and weight shown here are the ones stated in the TDS we hold. The PubChem record for CAS 89030-95-5 describes the copper peptide complex cation as C14H23CuN6O4+ with a molecular weight of 402.92 — one hydrogen different — and that record does not include chloride. Ask us to confirm the exact figure for the salt you are buying.

These figures are the tolerances stated in the TDS and COA for this item. Ask us to confirm the specification that applies to your order.
