Quality Control

Our 1-Oxopropane-1,2,3-Tricarboxylic Acid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and safety data are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

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