Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxy-2-Methoxy-3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and residual solvents.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. Keep away from incompatible materials.
