Quality Control

Our production of 3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)Isonicotinic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting research and development grade standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing 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 to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
