Quality Control

Our 6-(Hydroxymethyl)Nicotinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications to meet specific research or cGMP starting material requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
