Quality Control

Our n-Dihydrocinnamoylaminocaproic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and conformance to agreed specifications.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
