Quality Control

Our Caffeoyltartaricacid is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and potency.
