Uncompromising Quality: SRBio’s Manufacturing Excellence
-
Precision Purity & Composition Control
-
Guaranteed Mineral Content: Our controlled synthesis ensures a consistent and reliable assay of 98.0% – 101.0% (on anhydrous basis), guaranteeing accurate levels of elemental magnesium and phosphorus for precise formulation.
-
Controlled Hydration: Rigorous process control ensures the consistent formation of the dihydrate crystal structure (2 H₂O), guaranteeing predictable solubility and stability.
-
Heavy Metal Screening: ICP-MS validated limits: Arsenic (<1.0 ppm), Lead (<1.0 ppm), Cadmium (<0.5 ppm), Mercury (<0.1 ppm). Compliant with global food safety and pharmacopoeial standards.
-
Microbiological Control: Total Plate Count < 1000 CFU/g, Yeast & Mold < 100 CFU/g. Tested for pathogens (E. coli, Salmonella) with negative results.
-
-
Advanced Synthesis & Crystallization Technology
-
Controlled Reaction: Our process involves a precisely controlled reaction between high-purity magnesium sources and food-grade phosphoric acid under acidic conditions, ensuring complete conversion and a pure, well-defined crystalline product.
-
Multi-Stage Purification & Crystallization: The resulting salt undergoes controlled crystallization and gentle washing to remove any residual reactants or by-products, guaranteeing exceptional purity.
-
Optimized Drying & Milling: Low-temperature drying preserves the dihydrate structure (preventing decomposition). The final product is gently milled and sieved to achieve a consistent, free-flowing powder with customizable particle size distribution.
-
-
Stability & Shelf-Life Superiority
-
Long-Term Stability: When stored in a cool, dry environment, the well-defined crystal structure ensures exceptional stability. Accelerated studies confirm it retains its hydration level, chemical integrity, and physical properties for over 36 months.
-
Hygroscopicity Management: While inherently more hygroscopic than some phosphates, our advanced processing and moisture-barrier packaging minimize moisture pickup. Storage in original, tightly sealed containers in a dry warehouse is essential.
-
Recommended Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from moisture, heat, and incompatible substances (strong alkalis). Keep sealed during transport.
-
Scientific & Functional Overview
-
Dual Essential Mineral Source
-
Highly Soluble Magnesium: Provides a readily soluble form of elemental magnesium, crucial for muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, and bone health.
