Quality Control

Our Carboxyphosphoenolpyruvic Acid is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding research applications. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters is provided with every shipment to support your research and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under dry, inert conditions at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, consider storage at 2-8°C. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
