Quality Control

Our Hippurohydroxamic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage at 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
