Quality Control

Our 8,5-Diferulicacid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and commercial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
