Quality Control

Our Sodium Butyrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing the results of these tests. We can supply grades suitable for feed, technical, and research applications, with purity levels tailored to your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
