Quality Control

Our production of 3-(2-Chloro-4-Hydroxyphenyl)Propionic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or manufacturing specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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 such as strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and strong acids.
