Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid, 3-Phenyl-, 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl Ester, (2E)- adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve stability and prevent degradation.
