Quality Control

Our Hydroxyimino-Acetic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation.
