Quality Control

Our 3-[3-(Carboxymethyl)Phenyl]Benzoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and reliability.

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 tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
