Quality Control

Our Benzeneacetic Acid, -α--Hydroxy-4-(2-Methylpropyl)- (9Ci) is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect purity and stability.
