Quality Control

Our n-Hydroxyphenacetin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
