Quality Control

Our 4-Aminobenzene-(2'-Oxoacetic Acid) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and stringent control of residual solvents and heavy metals. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, ensuring compliance with your specific research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light sources to maintain stability and purity.
