Quality Control

Our Oxiranecarboxylic Acid, 2-(1-Hydroxyethyl)-, Ethyl Ester, (R*,S*)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
