Quality Control

Our α,4-Dihydroxy-3-Methoxy-α-Methyl-Benzeneethanesulfonic Acid Potassium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR for identification, and KF titration for moisture content, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and separate from incompatible materials.
