Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-4-(Carboxymethyl)Benzoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We support cGMP compliance for pharmaceutical applications and can tailor specifications to meet specific project requirements.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
