Quality Control

Our 5-((4-Carboxybenzyl)Oxy)Isophthalic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles 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, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
