Quality Control

Our 2-Octenedioic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
