Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-3-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Benzoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and physical parameters are available upon request. We are committed to meeting the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and 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 from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
