Quality Control

Our 4-(3-Carboxyphenyl)-2-Chlorobenzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
