General notes
We recommend immediate use of this product following dissolution.
Although reported to be soluble in DMSO our analysis shows gentle heating is required to achieve this, leading to significant decomposition. The product is soluble in ethanol, however we found extended time or gentle warming once again led to some degree of decomposition. -
