Quality Control

Our 3-[3,4-Bis(Acetoxy)Phenyl]Acrylic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, guaranteeing traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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). This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers should be kept sealed to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
