Quality Control

Our 6-Amino-5-Hydroxynicotinic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
