Ambroxan is a crystallised solid in its pure form and concentrations of 10% and over can re-crystallise at room temperature, making it difficult to work with so if you are not comfortable working with this material in its pure form, we provide pre-dissolved solutions in DPG at 5% here and 10% here for your convenience.
