Quality Control

Our 15-Hydroperoxyabietic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its peroxide nature and sensitivity to light and oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to minimize decomposition. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials.
