Quality Control

Our Sodium α-Phenoxybutyric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP and other relevant industry standards for intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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.
