Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxymethylphenoxyacetic Acid-Opfp is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and production applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR for structural confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
