Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Benzyl-3-Hydroxypropanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting standards for research and production use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are available for every shipment.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
