Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-3-Nitrophenyl-Acetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment. We can support development projects with material meeting research, technical, or custom purity grades.

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). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque or amber glass, or in light-resistant secondary packaging.
